Voting in politics is probably the most difficult thing in life you could ever do. If you actually understood politics enough to judge what best suits your future life. Based on policies and promises. If they are to hold candidates accountable. Then you really have a choice between a candidate I don’t trust and hate based on previous performance. Obviously as he or should I say she was elected in the last election, that hasn’t given me what I found as a fair way for run the state or country. Possibly telling porky pies before their entry into their seat to give me confidence they should do what is best for the people.
Then we all need to consider if we give votes to other parties, the key thing to consider is which parties work in close connections to hold power when all votes are collected but also which party members have a close connection. Then the independent party members have the same effect to the end scenario. So how do we really cast our vote. They sell less of what they have to offer, but more of what the other candidate can’t or will fail to deliver. Then the media has their spin. Their way to slag candidates. Which will always influence the end result in some way. I could tell you who I would vote for in the next state and federal elections. Neither options are great by any means. I haven’t made a choice due to a lack of trust or track record. Hence I can tell you nothing. Probably what most, or some have been feeling the same way for some time like me. I don’t want to be disrespectful and say choosing between dumb and dumber. It isn’t the nice thing to say.
It just appears that we are probably in a place the we have been struck hard financially by the effects of covid in the last few years, and this has had a huge financial impact on the state and federal deficit. How we recover over a very long period of time depends on how this government manages taxes. Where to spend, and where to not spend just to keep the masses happy. Stop keeping the masses happy. Do what is best for the people in total. CPI is higher than it was in previous years. Interest rates are on the rise to suit. Living standards are not going to get easier for the dollars you earn. Including utility bills on a rise soon. Even though fuel prices taking a small reduction which will only be for another few months.
Why are we confused? Does the question need to be asked? Educate us based on truth. I actually don’t remember a time that I had less conviction for candidates to elect into power. Have they all reached a high standard that it makes it difficult to select a winner? Have they all just become the bottom dwellers that we have nothing else to chose from. I once again apologise for sarcasm.
I just hope the media doesn’t help create additional problems in our process of how to move forwards. The media would never have their own agenda. (How do I add rolling eyes, and a f#@k you look on my face). Sh1t. Now I might offend members in the media. F@#k me. I know, I know. I reversed the characters to confuse the mods. Vote with what you feel right. It is hard to do all of the research. It is a gamble. It is life. Ignore the consequences. That comes as a result. Best of luck.
