I appreciate these two posts. It seems that we share the same problems with minor deviations at best. It isn't surprising that the progressive movement is everywhere in the 1st world countries. At 55 I've heard the "vote them out if you don't like their policies" mantra for far too long. It appears that this saying is a lot of hot air everywhere it is muttered. I've also kept waiting for the "Pendulum to swing in the other direction". Trump crudely exposing the uniparty here in the US was the greatest accomplishment of his presidency and maybe the only thing that he needed to accomplish. Do you guys deal with the uniparty phenomenon?
Considering your system in comparison to ours do you feel or see that you have better representation through your political system? What are some of the general complaints of Australians regarding your system?
Id say less Australians respect the top job in politics( prime minister) than Americans do with their president. Things happening now have shaken things up but previously your respect for the office of commander in cheif(even if you didnt like the guy) was singular amongst most of the world. A lot of the rest of the world..dont share the same love for the boss you guys do basically.
Before covid, some Australians would be flat out even naming our prime minister. We had so many of them swapping jobs the last few years( their own party deposing them and replacing them with another leader-another difference between Aus and the US) and the whole situation was seen as clownish.
Our prime minsters so closely follow UN mandates, chinese trade and US war politics, its a marvel to see just how flexible someone can be in serving three masters at once.
