I remain convince the very real danger is those who stand against a helping hand for those in need a job that pays a living wage

John F. Kennedy thought it important to use the
Chesterton fence as an aid in decision making.
And indeed it is. If you take a look at our two
major political parties - both have compromised
to appease big business and attract funding and
neither seem able to grasp the need to act on
certain issues nor listen to the people on
population size and other issues. Both are victims
of short-term thinking, and both have too many
careerists and not enough idealists, as they did
in the past.

Dear Belly,

A good example of that is our current "Banking
Royal Commission", which is busily uncovering various
wrongdoing in our financial sector. The Labor Party
has been in favour of setting one up for some time
even having it as a policy in the last election in 2016
while the Liberal Party wasn't. It boils down to the Liberals
not wanting to weigh in on business dealings of some of
our largest companies while the Labor Party were more
than happy to do so.

Dear Belly,

The Liberal Party was originally designed to
be as the name suggests, a progressive, business
and economics driven party but with a generous
heart. Instead they have become reactionary and
narrow conservatives, the home of self-interested,
careerists and not the idealists of the past.
The Labor Party was designed to be the party of
working Australians and ordinary Australians striving
for a more egalitarian society and the betterment of
all. Can we truly say that the two parties are that
different today? Both seem to be compromised to appease
big business and attract funding. Neither seem able to
grasp the need to act or listen to the people on issues
that matter. Times have certainly changed.

Mhaze- Thanks mate.

Loudmouth- Thanks for your ironic comment. I think you showed your humorous side once before. :)
