And please, do tell why Howard is so bad?
Has he fucked Australia over? Are we doing worse since he got into power (and has stayed in power)?
I suspect you're talking out of your arse, since most Lefties can't even tell you why Howard is so terrible. Rebellion for the sake of rebellion. There really isn't anything more useless than that.
**WARNING!! Analogies ahead!**
All the more reason to change the government then. If the economy is doing well, why not turn the rudder over to someone else for a bit? Personally, I think it is nice to have a captain and a co-pilot, rather than a captain and a flight attendant who has no experience flying.
Sure, during take-off and landing, you want your best guy at the helm, but while cruising in level flight, it's pretty safe to let someone-else have a shot at it (
just ask Aeroflot).
As much as right-wingers would have you believe it, Labor are not going to destroy the economy within 3 years. If we don't like the way they fly, we simply switch back. But at least there will be people on both sides of politics who are experienced at
running things, not just watching.
