Time to ban political parties
I have previously described the decline of our political system, and mentioned the benefits of anarchy. To push this a little further,our country is divided into two sides, the right and the left; Liberal/National Conservatives and labor/Greens
The party system does not meet Australia’s best interests. Far from uniting us, parties divide and weaken our community. They are the cause of the ineffectiveness of government. They create mob mentality, corruption and pit citizen against citizen where the common goal of a better country is lost to party politics causing the dysfunction seen in Canberra.
Our leaders can’t lead because they are not individuals, or even representatives of the people, they are servants of their political party, where the intelligent individual is replaced by a one-dimensional system easily susceptible to corruption.
In the US, George Washington is on the record saying““Political parties may now and then answer popular ends, but they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.” Based on material prepared by George Williams in a petition on Change.org
