"Failing" Government but who do you turn to?
Queensland - 1/11/2009
Today’s Sunday Mail reports an all-time low approval rating for Queensland Premier, Anna Bligh, of just 30 per cent.
As usual, the LNP supporters post comments berating Labor. They cannot see how people could have actually voted for Anna Bligh. But what alternative did we have? Lawrence Springborg?
I, like all voters who actually decide who wins elections, do not support any political party. In fact, people who blindly support a particular party are antidemocratic. If everyone was like this, there would be no need for elections.
When election time comes, I will weigh up what the incumbent party has achieved (or not) against what the opposition is offering. The latter has been sadly lacking.
If the LNP was serious about winning the next election, it would come up with REAL policies and plans to change for the better. While they're simply "opposing" everything the government decides, they are doing nothing for their election chances or the future of this state.
The reason Kevin Rudd won the federal election was because he clearly outlined his policies and plans for the future. He also (probably more importantly) connected with the people.
Anna might have a low approval rating right now, but unless a serious contender is found in the LNP, when it comes to election day, people may have no one else to turn to.
