Treated like mugs

Colin Williams (Forum, PN, 22 Feb 2016) accuses Dr Van Davy of being a socialist.

Perhaps he is.

But he is in good company as one of the front runners in the American presidential nomination race is one.

Bernie Sanders and Mr Trump are popular in the US because people are sick and tired of establishment politicians who stand for virtually nothing of any importance.

Australians too are sick of the principal political parties, their glibness, and their lack of national purpose.

All that they offer are sound bites on the media.

I believe Australian voters are treated like mugs.
