First you have to accept that there is a fundamental problem. Denial, short termism, blaming Europe and the world doesn't help. To the enlightened the problem is of our own making. I think that members who have read my postings will understand what I believe is required. This country needs a new political force, one that has not been corrupted by career politicians and brown nosers. The gov I propose would be made of individuals who are recognised experts . Candidates who stand for each cabinet post must convince the public that they are worthy. At the 'general election' the electorate tick boxes next to who they want for each relevant position. They have 4years to do the business. The figure head of this gov does not call the shots . However, he must have mediation skills be a face that fits and presents things well, Bruce Forsythe , Parkie, some thesp [Reagen did it] . This is a truly democratic gov , operated by people who have proven track records and are patriots. To ALL smarties, before you jump on me. My idea is rough as in rough. However, our political system has for decades fuelled our demise and the electorate deserve better. Something has got to change.
