Does anyone else feel sick that this prick is willing to leave the party “for the party’s sake” yet is not willing to fuck off out of the senate for all our sakes ?
Smacks of … FF first - the people somewhere later down the line - the right thing only if I make cash out of it.
Many moons ago ( the 80’s ) I had a job that involved Senate reports . I came across one that listed how meny days each Senator spent in the Senate and how meny words each one had spoken during debates for the year . A lot of them had a zero beside their names . I really wondered what was the point . The point is that it is a wage for failed TD’s and party hacks . Nothing more .
He can’t and won’t leave the Senate, he needs the money. That’s the long and the short of it. He’s also a delusional weasel, obviously, but the bottom line is the money.
And therein lies the problem.
Everyone knows that the senate is a complete and utter waster of money.
But no political party has the will to do it because, as soon as they are in power, it becomes *their *method of political patronage.
