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.

I would not be able to cop all the criticism without knocking someone's head off, I would continually be up for assault and could not stand being told I have done a terrible job.

"Unforcastable" is Mr Swans new word, one for the diconary LOL

But here's a laugh for everyone, not to be taken as an insult against the present government but any government in power. I have cleaned it up a bit so I don't get a smack.

Subject: HEALTH CARE IN AUSTRALIA

The Australian Medical Association has weighed in on the new health care proposals. 

The Allergists voted to scratch it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves.   

The Gastroenterologists had a sort of a gut feeling about it, but the neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.

The Obstetricians felt they were all labouring under a misconception.  

Ophthalmologists considered the idea short-sighted.

Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while the Paediatricians  said, "Oh, Grow up!"  

The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the Radiologists could see right through it.  

The Surgeons were fed up with the cuts and decided to wash their hands of the whole thing.

The ENT specialists didn't swallow it, and just wouldn’t hear of it.

The Pharmacologists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, and the Plastic Surgeons said, "This puts a whole new face on the matter...."   

The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were peed off at the whole idea. 

The Anaesthetists thought the whole idea was a gas, but the Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no. 

In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the anuses in Canberra.

:^O Cue

I think whoever gets in is damned if they do and damned if they don't. They are bound to upset someone.

I couldn't do it, I hate public speaking  & I'm no good at lying. If it was me I'd tighten up the 457 visas. I heard somewhere that some companies aren't even advertising jobs here, they go straight overseas

[2106greencat]

Hence - PM job - not easy at all, yet so easy to whinge about all that is perceived to be wrong.

Myself included here, I whinge, yet I have no idea how anything can be changed, and I freely admit I could not do her (PM) job in a pink fit, nor would I want to.

Hilarious & so apt, we could put that little ditty to all the luvvies on here as well, would fit in nicely :^O:-p

Good idea - then if Abbott wins the election we can regurgitate it for all his legislation. It's not new you know - it's like the Moses and the Promised Land joke.  It reappears in emails with monotonous regularity - as commentary on Governmants and legislation in just about every English speaking country

[the_great_she_elephant]

Oh, and it's not a 'ditty' either - unless someone's set it to music.

[shepherdsrule]

I could do it, might not do it better, but I reckon I couldn't do any worse.

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

"but an answer backed up with the method to attain what you think the country needs."

DY: "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."

You tried GC

i'd wreck the joint. i'm a loose cannon who owes favours, and like abbott all of those little markers would be called in... old friends would turn up, long lost relatives. i'd give them all high paid do nothing jobs. i'd continue to work on my relationship with the murdochs.. i'd be finished otherwise.

[catsnknots]

I would be locked up like Pauline Hanson was... so no.. 

and they would pull so many skeletons out of my closet that I have managed to hide for many years now that my kids would be totally embarrassed. 

Just because I support the Coalition please do not think that I like all of their policies. I like to think that they are the better of three evils... Many things that I think they should do they can't because of the "global" agreements we have tied ourselves into .
