Okay…I don’t normally talk about politics but this is more than just the normal sh$# pushing, swinging seat pandering, oozing self centred-ness that all political parties stoup too. This is a government, that can no long see the forest through the trees, and it’s starting not just to cost money, but lives.
The NSW public voted the Labor Party in for another term against an opposition Liberal/National Party that was of questionable competence at the least but rumoured racist (of the white nation policy type) at the worst. Most who I’ve spoken to say “What other choice did we have weirdos or idiots!?!”, comments that doesn’t inspire confidence, which may account of the small swing against Labor (of course not enough to change the Government).*
Since the Idiots verses Weirdos election in March the Labor Party Government lead by Morris Iemma (I’ll swallow my pride and call him by his title “Premier”) has lead his government from one near miss to the next, trains, schools, department of children services (DOCS), hospitals and numerous other bungles.
One starts to wonder “what the hell are these people doing? Don’t they know how to run a government or worse don’t they care?”.
As much as it pains me to say it (I’m born and bred Labor) the fact of the matter is that the Labor Government has lost the plot, gone nuts, lost their marbles, a sandwich short of a pick-nick and another assorted sayings for mental instability. In fact I think it may be an insult to those with mental instabilities lets face they couldn’t do any worse and I’d personally have the feeling they could do better, after all at least they know their not stable. Perhaps there is something to the GET RID OF STATE GOVERNMENT argumentAfter reading the latest headlines this morning (which I generally don’t take much notice of as journalist can be just as bad as the polys). I was that angry that my first thought was to pickup my NSW state flag and go protest in front of my MPs office. Complete waste of time of course, our own home girl Reba Maher wouldn’t be caught dead near our lower income earning homes and business.
Labor better put their heads down and bums up and actually do something useful or they are going to get wipe of the map come next State Government election.
Honestly, the whole things so depressing you could cry…..that’s if you don’t get fined for wasting water…..
