Politics of me.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

It's a great post Hugh... well, set of posts.

I think we're all full of contradictions, I mean, I cringe when I see how much tax gets taken out of my pay. But I was raised with the idea that 'those who have, have a moral responsibility to those who don't" - and honestly the 'every man for himself' mentality of many makes me feel quite sick.

Patrick: Thank you. I'd be interested in reading a similar offering from you one day

Afleitch: Not a bad idea, but I think the book idea will make me more money in the long run

Polnut: Thanks to you also. The third one is not an official part of it, but I might heavily edit it into the whole shemozzle. As for the contradictions, you're right that we all have them, I just think far too many of us (worldwide, Australians, young people) fail to realise that

Actually, I think younger people are more in-tune to that concept than most.

For all of the bitching and moaning about Gen-Y - we're the least politically active when it comes to political parties... buuuut were are EXTREMELY vocal and active when it comes to political issues.

Young people tend to want to get rid of the labels of left and right, because they realise that the entirety of their world view doesn't fit within that.

Do they?

Not all, but many tend to not like the labels...
