There you go, Tayap! Use Pearson’s approach- show that Governments are the problem. This can be done at grass-roots level by pointing out how intrusive the local councils are, with their ideas of zones, etc. Then reveal how the states keep on racketing up the taxes, so less government is the best solution.
As John H. said, people are favourably-inclined to those who can solve their problems- so if we show them that Governments are the problem, our solution will be welcomed!

To bring this back to my point, how did we get TABOR implemented? It wasn’t through politicians, rather it was through political grassroots advocacy groups!
This is what we are lacking in Australia. Whilst the LDP certainly has a role, we need a non-politically partisan group dedicated soley to putting pressure on politicians to implement good laws.

Nicholas – Based on past evidence I don’t think as a general rule voters are that attracted to politicians merely because they have a solution. I think voters are attracted to politicians that can effectively articulate the problem and that publicly empathise with those that suffer as a result. Having a meaningful solution is rather secondary and on it’s own doesn’t carry much currency at all.

Of course a really good articulation of a problem can often make the solution entirely self evident to everybody that cares enough to really listen. Noel Pearson demonstrates this really well when he talks about the the problem of welfare dependence and laments the impact on people. Although technically he’s a policy advocate rather than a politician.

Am I the only one that finds this kind of tactic incredibly disturbing? I don’t really believe in forcing a political ideology on citizens without convincing them of it first.

Kennett in victoria said similar things to Douglas in terms of moving quickly. This is not about forcing a political ideology. In both New Zealand and Victoria people where and are still free to believe in whatever ideology they prefer. What it was about was achieving meaningful reform. New Zealand has not subsequently put the tariffs back up. Victoria has not de-privatised the electricity industry.

Socialists don’t test their policies via referendums before implementing them. They impose them, claim them as sacred cows and then demonise anybody that suggests removing them.

If people want direct democracy then lets test the water with TABOR. No increase in per capita tax revenue without the direct consent of the people.

If voters are attracted to solutions to problems, then we should legitimately show government expansion as the problem, and we can promise to downsize governments as our solution.

“History suggests that’s not essential. In New Zealand, Roger Douglas radically transformed the economy before most of the people realised what he was doing. He has written that it is important to move hard and fast, before the opposition can get organised.”

Am I the only one that finds this kind of tactic incredibly disturbing? I don’t really believe in forcing a political ideology on citizens without convincing them of it first. It’s for similar reasons that I find the actions of the WTO a bit morally unsettling.

I feel like we have a growing movement full of impatient people. I’m glad they’re impatient, however growth takes time. Which is why I’m also glad we have a commited core. Or rather a couple of commited cores.
