Elections

[Baggers]

Firstly, no political allegiance here. My own personal opinion is that once you become a rusted on supporter of either major party or many of the minor parties, you no longer have use for your brain as someone else's ideology does your thinking for you. Keeping the brain stem only will allow eating, breathing, walking, abluting, play with phones/TVs/computers and sleeping, which is all that'll be required.

When I look at Andrews I don't see a one-dimensional character, but rather a determined, committed, stubborn, secretive and sometimes too authoritarian/non-accountable dude - a lot like many pollies. He's overseen some important improvements to Victoria's infrastructure, though, personally, I think it would have made more sense to do some of the more urgent infrastructure and spend more on strong improvements to public transport (to encourage drivers to get off the roads!!) and healthcare - just about all pollies over the decades have neglected this area... embarrassingly so.

His contribution to traffic flow in Melbourne is probably a strong positive, but... to the detriment of more important, human, initiatives. The Commonwealth Games fiasco was a monumental cock-up which won't serve his legacy in the slightest. Smart move to nick off now.
