So what exactly does ‘Fairness for All’ mean?
In terms of the work of elected politicians, does it mean working for ALL people in their electorate – even those who didn’t vote for them? For example, how far would a politician from the ALP Right or the Liberal Moderates be expected to support a constituent from the far-right or far-left politically speaking … or a politician from one of the fringes supporting somebody from the opposite ‘fringe’? What is the expectation of the rest of us voters on how far our elected politicians, whether we voted for them or not, should bend to the wishes of our differently radicalised fellow voters?
How would it happen in the absence of ‘party politics’, if all politicians were independent? What do you think? What obligation should a politician from one party or set of beliefs have to support a constituent, even if the constituent didn’t vote at all, or voted informally.
Food for thought!
