It doesn't much matter who wins next time. The choice is between dumb and dumber and I'm not sure which is which.

The fact is which party happens to control the House, the bureaucrats and so-called experts will continue to be in charge. There is a new form of ruling elite which some have dubbed the 'Professional Managerial Class' (PMC). How many times have we heard over the past months and years from leaders of all hues, that they are just following the advice of experts.

Our entire economy has been handed over to the 'advice of experts'. Medical 'experts' at that. Seems that if you're an expert in one field, governments assume you're an expert in all fields. The PMC makes the decisions, sets the agenda. The politician is there simply to give a popular veneer to the decisions that have been made over the heads of the electorate.

We have climate experts who've been wrong about pretty much ever prediction in the past 4 decades. Yet governments follow the 'advice of experts'. The lockdown 'experts' have been wrong from the outset, yet they carry on regardless. The foreign policy experts haven't made a correct call for decades, yet governments are still following the 'advice of experts'

When governments were prepared to resist the 'advice of experts' in order to follow higher goals, such as liberty and personal freedom, then elections were consequential. But all major parties have delivered over all such issues to the Professional Managerial Class and it therefore doesn't matter who the talking-head is that passes on the advice, its still the experts and/or the bureaucrats that make the call.

If you want elections to mean something, vote for people perpared to place principle ahead of the 'advice of experts'.

mhaze,

Who are you prepared to consider worth voting for?
Can you name at least one person worthy of your vote?

mhaze,

Quite right, the real problem however is the "experts" are not actually experts. That idiot Flannery was referred to as a 'climate change expert' by the MSM a few days ago. Apart from that fact that he is not even a climate scientist, but a palaeontologist, every one of his wild climate predictions have been wrong.

The choice is between dumb and dumber
mhaze,
The Govt has the same problem with its citizens !

Foxy,

There aren't many in the current parliament.

On the Lib side - Andrew Hastie
On the ALP side - Joel Fitzgibbon

Others - George Christensen, Malcolm Roberts.

Of course the best potential leaders are outside the parliament.

mhaze,

Thanks for responding.

Something to think about.
