Labor firmly entrenched in power

Bracks in 2003 got what he and his party wanted - the right to govern and now, it seems the right to govern eternally ; from the bright lights of the city . While their legislation to insist on proportional  rather than real representaion remains we will have the city telling us  what to do . Note how quickly the power of the Nationals disappeared and now the Liberals are going the same way , 

Bracks (on panel Saturday) thinks Labor is bringing young people with them. What would he really know Young people in regions joined their parents to vote for someone independant - even it they were OLD !?Bracks  still thinks it would be great to lock up the rest of Victoria - watch it happen under the weak leadership of Andrews.  If labor is so clever ,can it divorce itself from its own coalition of convenience and comfort ?They are the ones with young people 
Andrews will have to live with the ultimate test of Bracks innovation . The Greens in their  concrete jungle home think they have win a right to tell the rest of the country how to do environment .Even Anthony Green is ridiculing the system created and blind Freddy can see the stupidity of a single win in the heart of Melbourne !

 Daniel Andrews will soon show his true colours if he lets the Greens  get their stupid way over their irrational desire for a Park over Eastern Victoria just like Bracks got his way over Western Victoria .
Shouldn't be hard - The env vote is strong and stronger than ever in the city . Noone ( unless they live in the area ) will notice that he is promoting a lie and the ongoing closing down of industry and sound professional sense on the environment.  Feels good - thats important to some
Notice that the country is not happy . How could it be the system no longer properly represents their interests
Sure Labor ran  a better campaign than the Libs,  I saw lots of paid union reps on the hustings

No , the old is going Bracks and the new is coming - the Parliament of self centred stumbling and blocking . The oldies of all parties are giving up because a myth has become the ideal in representation theology . The simple will trump the complex . God will bless the mere numbers,  if not the places where those numbers come from . 
 The results in upper, if nothing else show what a selfcentred mess Bracks has made of our democracy.
"A major reform of the Parliament was made by the Labor government, led by Steve Bracks, with the passage of the Constitution (Parliamentary Reform) Act 2003. Under the new system, members of the Legislative Council serve fixed four-year terms linked to elections for the Legislative Assembly, unless if the Legislative Assembly is dissolved sooner.

Each electoral region consists of 11 contiguous Legislative Assembly electoral districts with about 420,000 electors each, who elect five members to the Legislative Council by a single transferable vote. There are now 40 members of the Legislative Council, four fewer than before. The changes also introduced proportional representation. The opportunity was also taken to remove the Council's ability to block supply. The reforms have made it easier for minor parties to gain election to the Council and possibly gain the balance of power."
