Getting Good Government is an art and a science

Good Government

Getting Good Government is about voter influence. It does not just happen. Corruption by political “donations”, lobbying and privatisation prevail. You can only influence government via the one section of it over which you have any power – Parliament. There, decisions are made by majority opinion of those MPs interested in your issue. Parliament controls most aspects of Australian life including government laws, services and properties.

Parliament

Your ability to influence the members of Parliament is related to a number of factors. One is the logic of the arguments you present. Another is that you vote at elections to choose which parliamentarians are re-elected or which replaced in your electorate. More important than your own vote is your ability to influence the votes of others.

Deciding how to vote

The voters network Parliamentary performance rating facility allows you to rate the performance of every member of your state territory or federal parliament, based on how well you think each MP has performed during the previous month. Your ratings are accumulated with those of other voters and so give a good picture to other voters, of how well the various political parties, groups and individual politicians have been performing in the eyes of voters.

Becoming a Democracy Influencer

That rating enables you and other voters who view the ratings, to objectively decide who to vote for at the coming election.

Politicians who have heard from you by Votergram, can reasonably guess that you might be rating their performance. Votergrams will be rating them on their responses to Votergrams from you and other voters. So they are quite likely to do what you want if it is sensible and fair. In that way you become an effective Influencer of Democracy.

Two independent ratings tell the story

Australian governments will thus become far more community oriented. Instead of led by a very small group of the ultra rich, big business leaders, and political donors, they will heed every day voters who ae helping each other decide who to elect. When numbers of voters are using the rating facility, that counts.

Rate their performance now.

For the long term good of our nation, we urge you to act. Join Voters.network free, take a few minutes today to quickly rate the performance of your own and other MPs. That way you will greatly contribute to building a better, fairer and more prosperous Australia for all Australians.

That is how democracy works, on voter input. Silent voters do not notice that others, not our politicians or parties, are silently driving our democracy for their own benefit. Let’s change that!
