Re: Australian Submarines
Can not think of anything worse than having four or five years terms here in Oz. Three year terms are good for democracy simply because it gives the voter a chance to rectify a mistake from the last election. My personal view is the ones in power so long as they take the population along with them and not only explain more fully as well as sell ideas to the public will get re elected hence getting at least six year term or more. Has been done a number of times in the past where either Liberal or Labour has been in power for over a decade simply by doing what politicians are supposed to do and that is look after the population but to advocate that current mob or opposition be given four to five year term makes one quiver with fright. Just imagine five years with the mad monk in charge. We would have ended up at war with everything that breathed and to bloody scared to go out the front door. As said? If they do the right thing then they will be voted in for further terms so why the need to change a system that can kick out the duds after three year term.
That's the way the mop flops.
