Have you emailed a constructive comment to a politician in this Federal election?

What happens is that you will receive an automated reply thanking you and will also receive directions to their web site, or to their views or recorded comments.

They really don’t get it.

You are not asking them for their opinion. You are giving them your opinion.

But these fatuous, pompous, aloof and generally not terrible smart or intelligent individuals, have concluded that because they are members of Parliament, pushing their opinions down your throat is more important than actually listening to voter’s views and taking notice of voters comments.

It would be nice to have a system where you could vote in candidates who were acceptable and vote out all candidates who were unacceptable and that those seats remain vacant until an acceptable candidate was offered for election. That way we could ensure we got rid of the useless, incompetent and ineffective and only had elected representatives who worked for us as our servants with only our well being in mind.

Whilst Mark Latham’s suggestion may not have been the right way to go about it, he was on the right track.
