Vale Liberals forever

By Everald Compton - posted Wednesday, 28 November 2018

Before his inevitable demise, Morrison can do one fine thing for the nation which will cause Australians to remember him fondly.

On Election Day in 2019, he can arrange for a Constitutional Referendum to be held which will make it mandatory for a Governor General to call an immediate General Election when a Party in Government changes its Prime Minister so the people can say whether or not they endorse the change. Never again must a Party be allowed to decide who is the Prime Minister. It is a decision of the people of Australia.

This change will cause MP's in marginal seats to think twice before tossing out a Prime Minister.

Will all this make the people of Australia more respectful of their Parliament? One can only hope so.

Right now they think it is at the bottom of the garbage can.
