I wonder why we continue to believe that politicians actually run the country.
When the pollies go off on their jaunts, sorry, study tours, does the country grind to a standstill? Nah! I reckon that the men in grey would breath a sigh of relief knowing that they can now get on with it.
It is silly to believe that politicians can bounce around from portfolio to portfolio like cards in a game of grab. They do not know everything that is everything to know, no way; the men in grey tell them what to do and then they go out and try and convince us that it is their idea.
A politicians job is to, first, get elected and then stay that way as long as the money is there. That in itself keeps most of them occupied. They haven't got time to run the country, and just as well that they don't.
( I have had a good little prattle tonight, hey!?)
