Pollies want a cracker
Published 1 month, 3 weeks ago in My life.Why is it that politicians do everything they can to stay in power, rather than doing everything they can to serve the people? Where has it all gone wrong?

Ahh, the fault dear Batigol10, lies not in our political stars, but in ourselves.
If voters treat elections like buying a soft drink (i.e. whoever has the most and best media exposure in the local paper or on TV ads wins), then of course our politicians are not going to be great (and that’s not to say that I myself think they’re bad).
Our poor pollies, instead of doing their best to serve their electorate, have to fight tooth-and-nail to get their face in the local paper as many times as they can. It’s become not about what you do, but as what you are recognised to do.
Political parties should make their platforms simpler and more accessible come election time, not just their election promises, and voters should pay more attention to what political parties and individual candidates stand for, not just how often they’ve read their name or seen their face.
