I thought I should start a purely non-political thread here.

There just seems to be such a need for it. I have no idea how significant the need is but here goes:-

Just in case it is significant maybe it is. Now as I am not supposed to talk politics on the forum I shall talk non-politics here.

Mainly because I haven't completed my tax returns yet and am guilty. I think the first political party that accepts the responsibility for correct accounting of tax will have a good run. They (the munny gubble) get the money and honestly every other company I deal with has the common decency to send out an invoice or account for the payments plan themselves. More to the point we own them, they are our business and they sit around all day and won't do our paperwork, I call that just slack.

Even more to the point, what if one could vote in a caretaker.

A good caretaker is one that you can call to account or dismiss for failing to 'caretake' properly. Elections would still need to be held in the unlikely event there ever was a party with something to offer. I know systems are different around the world but here in Australia it is over a hundred years after Federation and after all that talk education is still an issue. Health welfare even transport among others. Surely after a hundred years all the needed talking would have been done and a good not corrupt group of civil servants would administer the best ongoing plans.

That is why you would still have elections just in case there were great ideas to put in place. But mostly people get bored even if a government does well or as well as they tell you is possible. Vested interests suit vested causes only, that is how I see it. Anyway the caretakers would be like any other profession accountable for their actions and not owning the assets the generations before had added to the nation. No sale of the property of the people or the water air roads (may need definition) whatever. If government should ever get to the stage where all is sold then for whom are the taxes?

I know I am not supposed to talk politics, I just wish now that I could vote for something other than poiliticians
