What do the campaigns lack ?

None of us who care for the future of the country like to see lack lustre campaigns - yet we seem to have them now in Victoria . Brumby appears to get a lot more points for playing cricket than the Opposition treasurer spokesman seems to  get  for reminding the public that Brumby's crew are fast sending us broke- these are the children in charge who are ever learning and Lenders admitted as much on Stateline.   John Brumby is too good for the current government -  his departure won't say as much about Brumby's contribution,  as it will say about what he's been covering up and what a mess that leadership group is in . What a mess  Victoria is in . Watch him leave after the election ( whatever the result)
But who really cares ? - do the people understand or care enough to stop them wasting our money.  I certainly hope,  so but I don't feel so . Too many will stick with old parties cause that's all the choices they think they have got . Why are n't there more alternatives ? FF is at least one of them , whatever prejudice is dropped on them .
Most of us who know how things are not working in some areas of government ( such as environment ,planning, water and transport investment ) in Victoria wonder why there seems to be so little passion in the political performance .To be fair, to those passionate enough to go into politics, I know its hard to bring the people with you . There is a sense in which the election on Nov 27th maybe just like the fed election - more a reflection of the silent selfishness and sense of helplessness of the largely silent majority rather than the determination of those of from all sectors who know that removing the children in charge is absolutley essentail to  bring the sort of change that will help our children - rather than destroy it , as Labor are doing . Watch Brumby leave after the election ( even a trusting teacher can only stomach so much of the bullsh)
I just hope the people will do more than let the children run wild for another term.
