In politics that reminds me heavily of Starmer and the UK we have just seen our state premier ,Jacinta Allan , overthrown by Ben Carroll just a few months before an election. Not going too deeply into it but it seems she was heavily involved or maybe cowed by the building unions who are being investigated for fraud. What is it with politics these days ? She hasn’t been the best and neither was her predecessor, Daniel Andrews. Wouldn’t it be just so nice to have an honest, capable and trustworthy politician with the interests of the country at heart?

You frequently comment on UK political Threads, and I am embarrassed to admit that I know nothing or very little about the situation in your domain.

Both Sunak and Starmer had failings, but as far as we know were honest and trustworthy, there were no scandals about their personal or financial dealings, so I don’t think we have been in quite the same position as it sounds like your state might be nanna8. Is it suggested that your premier took bribes?
