Today’s big question: Should we vote for our leader?

These are the big questions where you can have your say. This is an open space for discussion about some very confronting debates in out society. How do you feel? What do you think? These are the real Q&A for the Australian Seniors today.

Instead of MPs replacing our PM when it suits them….should we vote for our leader in a separate election, like the Americans do?

FOR Yes, because that way at least we would have the person we voted for as the head of the country. Right now we vote for a party and they might choose someone we don’t want. In America the vote for the president is a separate thing to the vote for the government and reflects the people’s choice.

AGAINST NO, it is too easy then for it to just be about hype or publicity and who has the most money, not about the person and what they stand for. Leading a country shouldn’t be a popularity contest.
