definition for: #aussievoters

Australian voters, free of any party politics and interested in many topics, networking to persuade their elected representatives to have governments do what those voters want.

Australian voters networking, free of party politics or political philosophies, to decide what they would like their governments to do, then to persuade their elected parliamentary representatives to do what the vast majority of those voters want done. This can be achieved via the voters.network website or any similar website providing online community consultations and a facility for a voter to post proposals for consideration and discussion by other voters. Consensus decisions will then lead those Australian voters to conduct campains with their elected representatives to persuade their governments to do what is wanted as evidenced by the consensus decisions of those voters. The purpose is to enable voters to effectively link their voices and their votes, regularly rating how well their MPs have represented them in order to better decide how to vote at each future election.

Australian democracy is an excellent form of government, but it does not work well as a "spectator sport". Currently politicians are elected, generally not on their own merit but that of their party or party leader.Thus their loyalty must be directed more to the paarty than to the people who elect them. In addition voters elect and neglect their MPs, voting them in and then only paying heed to them when the politicians displease them, failing to give praise when it is due for good performance. Democracy will work best when the voters and politicians work together on common goals, but realising that it is for the voters and their families that government exists, not for the benefit of politicians or government staffers. #Aussievoters will allow the discussion of topics of interest to voters, not others, that are related to Australia not other countries.
