My Manifesto: The Incoherent Ramblings of a Madman

Kevin 07.

With a catchy means-nothing-slogan like that - how could good policy, history, statistics, and judgment possibly get in the way of a good win?

Hail to the newly appointed Prime Minister. Now; the question is what will follow?

Will Kevin continue the economic policies and foreign links that Whitlam, Frazer, Hawke and Keating had set up to successfully carry us through John Howard's reign? Will Kevin bring back the Westminster system we legally are meant to be Governing by? Will Kevin bring back our freedom of information? Our freedom of choice? Our freedom of speech? Our freedom to question? Will Kevin bring back our independence from America? Will Kevin bring back equality amongst sex, age, race, religion? All which were eroded under the poorly named Liberals.

Can Kevin achieve anything with a hostile senate that will no doubt bring about a Whitlamesque double dissolution election? Can Kevin control a party that is already split down the middle by left and right wing factions? Can Kevin undo the financial/economic brainwashing of the public? can Kevin bring back our education system to a first world standard? Can Kevin bring back investment into infrastructure so that we have the capacity to develop through good economic times while not having to maintain through the bad?

What the fuck can one man really do? A man can and will be forgotten. The ideas of the man are far more important; BUT what the hell are his ideas? What more than Kevin 07 do we really know?

Kevin 07 means nothing in 07 - in 08 it means even less.
