I think you know what i meant. every bit of advertising leafouts hand outs shows the leaders face.


blind freddie knows who the leaders are.

anyhow as usual we have gotten off the subject so thats it from me.

But you said that the current State government wasn’t democratically elected.

thats not what i said at all!!

my comment was relating to allan not being elected democratically.

she was elected by her party and i stand by that.

I understand what your saying but dont agree with it.

anyhow we are going in circles now

As stated, you don’t vote for a leader.
You vote for a person in a group and the biggest group votes for one of their mates to be the boss.
You might think that the boss of one group has nice hair and white teeth but you don’t get to vote for them usually.
The best you can hope for is that that guys group is the biggest and that they subsequently make him boss but again, you usually don’t get to vote for him.
Let’s go BIG !

The leader of every government and opposition in Australia is elected by their Party; Sussan Ley was elected by the Liberals in Canberra, now it's Angus Taylor.  We had Rudd-Gillard-Rudd, then Abbott-Turnbull-Morrison, all PMs elected by their parties.  The Victorian opposition has had Guy-O'Brien-Guy-Pesutto-Battin-Wilson, all elected by the Liberal party room.  And we've had Baillieu-Napthine and then Andrews-Allan as Premier.  The voters don't have a say in it.

I get that you don't like Allan, or Andrews, but Allan was democratically elected, as was her government, and she is Premier in accordance with the Westminster principles of government that have been in place in Victoria since 1855.
