A figurehead
The level of disarray in our current federal government is startling. All that comes to mind is a hen house with a fox inside and the fox is invisible. Let’s step back from this mess for just a moment. Yesterday the finance minister resigned. There are others counting down the days until the Prime Minister resigns. Almost as if these people we’re actually in control of things. I will give you a quick side show these people are spokespeople. All of the government ministries have a whole team of experts behind the scenes actually running the puppet show. If one of them is suddenly unavailable there is always someone to step in. We designed our government that way. They are nothing more then spokespeople. No need to panic there is already a new finance minister. Took only a couple of hours. The time to fellow de mandatory paperwork I imagine. The amount of stress that media and government try to give us over what is really a mundane change in personnel is amazing. Yes some of us are able to name the current Prime Minister but not everyone. Most people including myself have never actually met an acting Prime Minister. I’ve seen a couple who retired but that’s the point these are nothing more then spokespeople no more or less important than the person that reads the Evening News. Just a more expensive suit. I will sleep quite well knowing that our government system does not depend upon one person to get the job done. In sharp contrast with the neighbours. In fact having the president of the United states continually refer to our Prime Minister as the governor of our state puts it into perfect perspective these are just figureheads. And if you remember back to the days of sailing ships when they put a figurehead at the prow of the ship that figurine never prevented a shipwreck.
