It seems that we not only expect our politicans to lie, we also don’t care. I’ve been dubbed naive for thinking (or hoping) to contary… as if this is some eternal truth that I have been unaware of.

Henestly, I don't care which party we are talking about. It's like the bogan jock who will say anything to shag a girl, only to realise what a crap shag HE is. To keep Kudos he talks himself up, she disappears into the background, and the next one comes along, and he does it all over again. Beazley really is a sorry SOB though, and probably a crap shag. Or maybe voters are the girl. I don't know.

Blimey, it's a long time in ANYTHING! Are you telling me you didn't make promises back then (or since) that you haven't kept?? Scary for someome (even a Daydreamer) who has been studying politics to seriously think that a promise by ANY party/politician made that long ago would be kept for so long. I personally call it naïve... Talk about scaping the bottom of the barrel for a dig at your least favoured party - surely you can come up with something with a little more substance? AND how convenient all of a sudden you are taking full notice of the mass media - goes againt the grain I would have thought, but I guess we all listen to and believe what we want out of it if it supports our arguments, more's the pity.
