  1. There is a mechanism in politics called a "Political Ratchet". It's a tactic used by the Uniparty (Labor & Liberal) to slowly move the Overton Window (perception of political acceptance) in the direction beneficial to the elites. You vote in the Liberals and they implement policies that cause you problems but benefit the elite. Next you vote in Labor that promise to reverse what the Liberals have done, but only manage a partial reversal. Then being disgusted by the apathy and "incompetence" of Labor, you vote in the Liberals and they expand their original policy to swamp the Labor retraction and extend the disaster even further. Again, Labor promise to fix the problem and are voted in to power and again have a weak response to the Liberal policy disaster. You are again disgusted by Labor weak response and again look for an alternative. It's a political ratchet; where both parties work together (Uniparty) to slowly move the perception of political acceptability (Overton Window), while the rubes vote desperately trying to find some political party that will reverse the disaster. Sadly, no such party will ever be allowed onto the ticket; you live in a one party (Uniparty) state. The rubes will continually swap the only two allowed political parties looking for an exist to the disaster that never comes. After a millennium or two they may eventually realize they are incapable of reversing the direction of the country and that they vote in vain. Trump and Rinehart have won. GAME OVER!
