We have too many rich people who think they know how to run the country. Rich fascists.
It is almost impossible to get elected to any important office in this country unless you have a pee-pot full of money.
I have always advocated that incumbents should have their electoral funds handed over to the Government at the end of each electoral run. Incumbents with millions left over from one run use this money to defeat anyone else running. It gives them an unfair advantage, as if they hadn't already used Government funds to help in their next election. Voting entitlements and Franking privileges are hard enough to beta without a million in a slush fund from their last election.
It would be an even better idea if we did away with Washington all together. There is no reason in this day and age that we have to send people to Washington. They should just meet and vote electronically. If these people had to live under the laws they passed, if they had to face their constitulants every single day they might be a litte more careful.
