Political Truths (All Is Not What It Seems) - E-book - ePub

As an observer of politics, it is easy to see that nothing ever really changes. Behind the smoke and mirrors of whatever party is in power the mantra is still the same. It is an adversarial system of government with adverse results for the public. There is a lot of ranting and raving, but it is all theatre and at times you have to wonder who is paying for such bad actors who keep on losing the plot.
Then you realise that it is we, the taxpayers, who have to foot the bill as punishment for elevating these people (mainly older white men) to the top of the ballot paper that did not have the names of the best and brightest listed on it. Out of all this reflection on what happens in parliament and government, where all is not what it seems, several truths stand out. This is a collection of my learned political truths that I have written over the years.
I believe that they are all original and I hope they entertain.
