They genuinely believe “politician” is something that takes years to learn and should be reserved for their pipeline of political party scumbags who go through years of the backstabbing and horse trading to get to the top.

I remember them mocking Ricky Muir when he was elected because he didn’t know procedural stuff of parliament - that shit isn’t exactly a life skill and can be learned easily, it’s not some esoteric knowledge that one needs years of study and multi-disciplinary background to grok; it needs a fucking pamphlet.

Nothing will improve whilst this political system is in place. It’s entirely captured in the modern way of fascism where no-one actually talks about the fascism out loud, they hide behind “liberal democracy” and then work hand-in-glove with private interests to use legislation to fuck everyone for their benefit.
