10,000 ways that will not work

Here’s a list of what doesn’t work:

Political parties led and controlled by popular personalities. This has been tried ad nauseam in Australia for the last thirty years. The power always gets concentrated in the hands of one or two people (normally one), members are ignored and decisions are made on the lam. You only have to look at the performance of third force political parties to see this in action. Idiotic policies are made under pressure, campaigns tanked, and years of member’s work flushed down the toilet.

Trying to convince the major parties to come back to earth to live with us. It would take all day to list out the lobby groups that try this day in and day out, and here we are, exactly where the left wants us to be. So much for that idea as a long term strategy.

Media Campaigns. These can have some effect, but measured against the force of government that spends 36% of GDP, is akin to stopping the tide with a bucket.

The only option to us is the one we should have focused on a decade ago and that is to create a grassroots conservative political party that is truly controlled by the members. A party that sends people to parliaments to implement the policies that we want, not a party controlled by a politicians that implement what they want.

Those in parliament are our servants, we are not theirs.

It is not an easy road that I propose, but an essential one.

Since the 1940’s Australia has been ruled by either the Liberal/National Coalition or the Labor Party. For more than 70 years a virtual two party duopoly has ruled our lives and by logical extension, those who rule those parties.

This situation must change.

Ask yourself the following questions:

How can a nation with such abundant natural resources and human talent, be in such enormous debt?

How can a nation with such abundant energy resources have the highest power prices in the world?
