Bern : What do you think about Brumbies mob trying to eliminate the influence of people with an interest in something in particular
SirH Well , it's better that having people with an interest in everything and nothing in particular ----dominating !
Bern So what then do you do about those increasing numbers of people who just "want to have a day in the top job " or just want to push their own barrow in politics ?
Sirh Simple bern simple---- we just just vote em out .Churchill said it wasn't perfect, but its the best we've got and mad they are that try to change it !
