Why voters dump major parties

Why voters dump major parties in favour of independents

Major parties have been bought, bribed and bullied by the Big Business and Banking Corporations who pay them millions, pay lobbyists millions  to influence them and threaten them with media campaigns if they fail to deliver laws, policies and profits to give big business a satisfactory ROI.

Last year de-regulated CBA earned in real money terms, 4,500 times what it earned when owned by the people in 1972. It did that by bleeding customers thanks to major party de-regulation. Major parties have, to deliver super profits to banks and big business, increased immigration way beyond the capacity of our parliaments to handle the population numbers or provide the necessary services, homes, goods and services required by those immigrants and the Australians who elect and pay those MPs.

By paying bribes to major parties, euphemistically called “donations”, big business CEOs have been able to draw salaries of between $50,000 and $200,000 PER MONTH.

Party MPs are controlled by the Party bosses. Independents are controlled by the voters who elect them.

As Hon. Paul Fletcher, a very helpful and decent local Liberal politician says in SMH today “Voters know what they are getting with  majority government, be it Liberal or Labor” . They do and a good few of them don’t like it at all.

WHAT THEY GET

They know that they will get massive migration to overwhelm Australians in their own country, boost unmet demand for everything from housing to food and clothing, schools and hospitals. That forces prices and corporate profits up and the cost of labour down as immigrants often have to accept any pay rate that is going, just to survive. Voters will endure more and more organised crime, drug crime and murders which are already a common occurrence in the immigration capital of Sydney. Voters will see Public Schools providing less and less education to force parents towards non-government schools; public hospitals leaving patients waiting in ambulances outside because the politicians are incapable of increasing the hospitals, equipment and staff numbers whist simultaneously cutting the tax rates to win votes. Voters know they will see corporations earning billions yet paying tax rates as low as 30% or profits of up to $50 million and paying only 25%, while voters pay 45% on earnings over $200,000 plus 10% gst, so 55%.

DON’T DEAL WITH DONORS

The solution is obvious. Major political parties should ban donors from any government contracts and any contact with MPS or government bureaucrats directly or through lobbyists.

They should investigate immigrant organised crime and determine how much of it is caused by political neglect of the migrants they bring to Australia. They should reverse privatisation to stop the big corporations who have taken over our government enterprises, from extortionately high price gouging via the monopolies they have been granted. Voters know that major political parties will continue to assist dishonest banks and moneylenders cheating customers. These rogues will remain secure from prosecution thanks to the Dishonest Bank Protection Racket the major parties have put in place at AFCA, ASIC and ACCC with Debt Management regulations to stop independent professionals who care and are not bank funded, from assisting borrowers in trouble .

Paul Fletcher was unable to break through that fence of protection to enable me, with a life-time in Chartered Accountancy & company directorships plus 37 years banking experience since de-regulation, to help one bank family customer get a fair go as their dishonest bank sought to foreclose. I could not charge for acting professionally for this couple being sold up by a big 4 bank. The husband had been conned by the bank and its broker to lodge a false loan application grossly overstating his  income. The broker then engaged a new tax agent to lodge a false tax return for the borrower, lying to the borrower that he would withdraw it later. Prevented from charging for the job, I put $30,000 of my own funds into the fight with the bank and stopped it from selling the family up. No thanks to major political parties who put impregnable barriers in the way trying  to stop me saving this family’s home.

What voters know that they are getting from the major political parties, filled with some excellent, helpful, competent and honest MPs, is blockades at party HO serving the interests of those who pay the party the most money, rather than serving those who give them the most votes and pay MPs their parliamentary salaries.

SOLUTIONS

The solutions we have developed are the FairGO Voters Network, the Votergram service and the Voterlobby to level the playing field and, without any great public fuss or demonstrations, give everyday Aussie voters every chance to work with their elected Parliaments to achieve the personal services they need plus the fairness and honesty in government and society that we used to value so highly.

Currently our younger Australians,  children, teens and 20s are being seriously disadvantaged for the  colossal financial gain of the tiny rich and powerful minority that is primarily funding those major parties for their own benefit, with shareholders’ money.

RE-ELECT TOP PERFORMERS

We have great politicians, contrary to the popular view, but they have been compromised by accepting money. We voters need to get along side them, support and inform them.

We voters need to make it clear that we will support political parties if they do what we want and replace them if they don’t. Campaigning in marginal electorates is the key to that. Voting for a candidate whose party will not do what we want, is like rewarding children for being disobedient. Vote them back and they will keep on offending us!

Each Voters Network member can rate any MPs monthly on whether they are or are not doing what that voter wants. It is a good extra “How to vote” guide for that voter at the next election. It also  feeds though to show how voters feel about their elected representatives. Federal Libs are about middle of the pack but NSW Libs are at the bottom.

INFLUENCE

More important than who we vote for, is how we influence whoever is elected. Just like with a Hereditary monarch and nobles at court. We have found that sending Votergrams to ALL MPs enables a voter to reach the small group of politicians that is interested in any one particular topic and prepared to actually do something about it. They can make it happen for voters. They have done for the past 36 years since they were invented.
