Voters don't want 'politics as usual'

Politicians all over the world still don't seem able to grasp the reality that the majority of people are fed up with the 'politics as usual' which parties want to dish up. First there was the election of Donald Trump in the US which defied all the predictions of so-called expert analysts and political journalists. Then there was the double dissolution election in Australia which was called in an effort to give the coalition Government more control over the Senate. The people rebelled and delivered a reduced majority for the Government in the lower house and an even more hostile Senate. Now the British Prime Minister called an unnecessary snap election to try to strengthen her negotiating position with the European Union over Brexit. Instead she was humiliated with a reduced parliamentary majority and was forced into a dealwhich will probably be unworkable. The Australian Government and the US President refuse to listen to people about climate change. Governments throughout Australia are beset by side issues such as same sex marriage, Domestic violence (which should be treated as violence and not given a softer image). Then there is the nonsense around one-punch attacks ( what does it matter if a person is killed by one punch or ten, the result is the same and the penalty should also be the same.) Time for politicians to get their acts together and listen to the people. If Boris Johnson takes over as UK Prime Minister, there will be Toby Jug bookends either side of the Atlantic, Trump in the US and Johnson in the UK !
