Has anyone else noticed? Whenever Albanese is before the microphone and speaking in public, he has two words that he uses more often than any others – the words are ‘my government’.
Surely someone should educate him about democracy and point out that it is the ‘people’s government’ DYT?
Also, our politicians are always saying that they have a ‘mandate’ to do stuff. Do we need to remind all of them, that they have one, and only one, ‘mandate’? That mandate is to determine the will of the people in their electorate and to express this in parliament.
That ‘democracy’ thingy again? We could set up a LAN in every electorate where the member would post legislation that is scheduled for voting in the parliament and citizens could post ideas and perspectives on the proposed legislations. The people could then vote over the LAN network and tell their member how they want him/her/it, to vote in parliament.
In this way a majority’s wish would be expressed.
This would be a ‘true democracy’ similar to what exists and has existed in Switzerland for decades. We have the technology, it can be done. We just need to convince our politicians and their party to give up the power that they currently abuse!
Bloody hell, the politicians would not need to go to Canberra in disgustingly expensive jaunts for holding ‘sessions’, the electorate’s vote could be posted to parliament electronically.
Too easy!
