    Gotta love the Right - win landslide elections in Qld & federally, then utterly screw it up, so they start claiming democracy is a bad idea.

        @BernardKeane Abbott & co have been playing the ‘I have been chosen by the Australian people’ line which is patently untrue.

        @BernardKeane Can't help wondering about democracy when ppl barely capable of abstract thought can vote Abbott & his ilk into POWER.

        @BernardKeane I am particularly unenamoured with the PM=President narrative being used. We don’t elect a PM. We elect a party with a leader.

        @BernardKeane @MikeCarlton01 Since LNP had IPA and Murdoch pulling their strings, they think that democracy means that they rule the 99%.
