Yes indeed mate, a real quandry??
I used to believe (naively as it turns out) that our political system looked out for the interests of this country & all it's population...
Maybe, just maybe that was true, once...
Last 3 or 4 Federal elections (and state for that matter) I agonised over who to vote for... none of the choices in my area were any good to be honest...
I can't give you a straight answer though... maybe voting isn't the solution these days.. maybe it's time to take to the streets...
Maybe...., maybe it's time for a revolution...Although, that's rarely worked out well for any country...
I think what people most underestimate is just how much power we have as a collective... This is why, all parties seek to divide & create fear (IMHO)... they recognise that the people united are a force to be reckoned with... maybe it's time we exercised that power...not at the ballot box but, out on the street, united.. demanding better of our elected representatives... a reminder perhaps, of who they actually work for!!
Or not... depending on how motivated you are...
