Could you do better ? (A Kind of Political Thread)

[2106greencat]

There are countless political threads on the boards as we all know.

And no matter the intention of the OP, most really just end up being a cat fight between each responders preferred party or representative.

Here is a twist - Could you, as the leader of a political party, do a better job (and not just an off the cuff answer along the lines of a two year old could do a better job haha) but an answer backed up with the method to attain what you think the country needs.

I reckon at the end, all of us will realise it is not an easy job....and you can't please all the people all the time.

no way

I think Julia Gillard is excellent with policy, she does seem to take the wrong advice sometimes, I think that is her downfall that she is perhaps not as good at playing politics as I thought she was - I think she is better when in the position of the underdog.

I'm useless at making decisions so there is no way I could do a better job.

If I read the OP better I would have seen that you are asking could I do a better job as the leader of a political party not as a PM .

are all parties included ?

[donnashuggy]

I couldn't do a better job than Tony Abbott of being a complete worm.

I could however stick to my principles and beliefs better than him. I would respect and admire him if he could  be openly against abortion - we know he is but won't stand up and say it any longer (that is just one small example).

There is weakness on both sides in the integrity department.

no for a number of reasons

i hate public speaking, but can control a meeting around a desk with 20+ people

my past isn't clean enough:^O way to much dirt

i don't like ties

or pants for that matter

i'm no good at lying

i don't like kissing babies

i'm not sure i would be able to switch off at the end of the day

plus many more

No I couldn't because:

1) I no longer have the energy needed for that kind of job.:-(

2) I'm a very good 'ideas' person, but hopeless at translating those ideas into action.:8}

3) I'm useless at managing finances (I'm going to be in deep doodoos if Mr Elephant predeceases me):_|

4) I have no stomach for the lying, spin doctoring and prevarication that is an inevitable part of politics.X-(

i don't like ties

Well Mr Grizz, at last I am in accord with you on something.   😉

I have for a long time refused to "go out" with men who wear ties. 

The most ridiculous piece of apparel ever invented.  And you will have to read a Desmond Morris book to find out why men wear them.

No because I would hand out all the $$$$ to the neady.
