With regards to pollies. We are as a society extreamly apothetic, and the pollies know this fact only too well, and they work their spin with this knowledge. At the ballot box a small tax cut or idle promises of lower intrest rates mean more than a decent education system or an effective health care system? This is the nature of the voting public IMHO. In the end it is
us who vote these clowns into office. We have a democracy of sorts, so we should demand many of these things that concern us be delt with instead of being dictated to by our political overlords
