PANDERING TO THE POPULACE
Rudd continues to promote the flawed notion that the electorate votes in the sitting Prime Minister. He mumbles on about the notion that the people voted for him. Nonsense - it's the Parliamentary Party. In the case of Labor it's the Caucas, or should that be carcase! The only electors, who vote for the PM directly, are the voters in his or her electorate, but then only as a candidate for Parliament. However, our media supports these falsehoods, by pandering to the populace - their equally ignorant audience. I think the media suffer from a collective case of PMS. If the electorate wants a direct say in who is PM, then they should call for changes to the voting system or wait for the next election. The waste of verbiage by journos. if harnessed and sent to the grid, would obviate the need for a Carbon Tax!
However, he now plans to broaden the vote beyond Caucas, Whoopee! BUT, a message to all those Labor voters out there, you still don't vote for the PM personally, you vote for the Party. Get a grip!
