Inept

1 note

What, then, if all politics is undergraduate politics? It is, after all, these apprentice politicians who go on to join the party machinery, work for a sitting member and join a system of political patronage that will later ensure their own preselection. The pursuit of power without purpose.
Is there any clearer demonstration of the end point of this system than the implosion of the Labor Party?
But if Labor has got it bad, the Liberal Party is acting little better. Shadow ministers behave not unlike a schoolyard rabble, goading their leader into ever more ferocious fisticuffs against an ideologically weedy government. The chants of ”fight, fight, fight” drown out any reasonable questioning of the logical inconsistency of a set of policies that claims to cut taxes, increase spending and improve the bottom line all at the same time.
