What difference will that make? Our system of voting will always reward those who least deserve to be in power.
Is the problem the system or the people who vote?

If a man studies history, is there any future in it?

If I tree falls in Yamba, will we hear it at the bowlo?

1. It's the system. The people can only vote based on the system presented.

2. Master Po: If a man dwells on the past, then he robs the present. But if a man ignores the past, he may rob the future. The seeds of our destiny are nurtured by the roots of our past.

3. No. The tree will fall regardless if hineyrulz is driving or not. Nobody will hear it fall over the sound of me kicking your arse in a game of mini-golf.

1. People are whiny merkins. No system will stop people being whiny shits who will change their mind for all sorts of pathetic reasons. There isn't a system in the world that has worked or will work. Name me one.

2. It's being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one.

3. I'd let you win at mini-golf to make you feel better about me thrashing you at maxi-golf.

1. So, it's the people? You asked.

2. Of course there's a past you dope. There is also a future. Nobody wants to relive the past (unless they have a time machine) but we should always learn from the past and improve on it with the knowledge we have gained. There is a future for those who plan for it.

Agree people like to have a winge. Some just arent happy with their life or are confused. Some people learn while some never do.
Will a new political party make there existence any more pleasant? Depends what is driving them. If its pure financial gain that stokes the fire in their belly then perhaps.
But for most it is just a talking point to pass the time. Its like those christmas parties when the old road or tolls conversation comes up. Yes the roads will save you time. Its great. Yes the traffic is a pain in the arse. I get it. We have nothing in common and we find each other quite boring and uninteresting.

Without the past none of us would exist. Without the future none of us would exist.
By the time Gary reads this it will be in the past. But I still exist ffs.

1. It's not the people or the system. Its Hiney.

2. It is by no means an irrational fancy that, in a future existence, we shall look upon what we think our present existence, as a dream.

Well life is the willingness to die.Without the risk and gamble of uncertainty you are already dead. Chasing death is what keeps you alive. Aslong as you keep taking risks and gambling you remain your own creator.

Was he an inexperienced politician?

If he was, hopefully he learnt a very valuable experience about managing expectations and not over committing. You’d hate to think that he did it to other people as well.

If he wasn’t then he should hang his f**ken head in shame.

I could be wrong, but I believe that he had plenty of experience.

I think it is definitely true that the cold, callous and selfish ones last longer, partly because they have no shame. But if everyone judges all politicians in this manner, it will never change. A politician who actually does the right thing will be assumed to just like the rest, and so it goes on....

You're right.

And I've seen some good ones (or at least, they appeared good; I thought O'Farrell was good, and the gentleman who stood down from the NSW Premiership because of depression seemed good, too).

But, unfortunately, the good ones are few, and lack the power to change people's minds, imo.

It's sad, but it's what it is...
