VOTE NO !! x 2
.
I see many leaders/spokesmen in national Aboriginal communities today, working very hard to present all Aboriginals as 'victims'. ....e.g.
"Australian Wars"
playing on SBS tv atm.
If a person
embraces a [false/imposed] 'victimhood' mentality upon themself, imo, that is a very, very unhealthy place to be, mentally.
.
1/ If you give [only] 'propertied' citizens
** the right to vote for law makers, sensible national laws will emerge.
[
** ...which are principally those individuals with an interest in social stability and national/community wealth creation.
Some of us older folk remember the term,
THE COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA
. It was a time
when Australia, was, the real Australia, imo.]
2/ If you give voting rights to a majority of citizens [within any wealthy nation] whose primary aim in life is to pursue
dissolute habits, those voters will vote for any scoundrel who will promise to make their lives 'easier'.
And the elected lawmakers who are elected will proceed to make laws [pursue government policies] which will bankrupt the national treasury.
[The term
'bread and circuses' comes to mind. e.g.
NOT Singapore. Being new form of a 'COMMONWEALTH' state ? ]
dissolute = = overindulgent in sensual pleasures..
A wasters son asks his dad, "Dad, what's democracy?"
"Well, son, that's when honest hard working folk work to improve themselves, and we get all the benefits from it!"
"But dad, aren't the honest hard working folk pissed off about it?"
"Sure they are, but that's what we call democracy with 'liberalism'."

"The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living."

"Remember, democracy never lasts long.
It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself.
There was never a democracy yet that didn't commit suicide."
- John Adams - USA President, 1797-1801
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government.
It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury.
From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.
The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.
These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.
