Lost cause?

Unfortunately, Klaas Woldring is pushing a barrow without wheels in regard to electoral reform.

The reason: the only electoral reform the major political parties are interested in is to cement them in power, so they can enjoy the perks of office (luxury trips overseas etc) and look after their mates, both large and small.

The real spanner in the works is that the majority of the voters are welded onto the two major parties.

There are signs of improvement, particularly in the bush and on local councils, but again these places are easily stepped on by the big boys.

Still, as the poet said, the only causes worth fighting for are lost causes.
