> Long on obstruction, short on governance. So, this is fun. Two elections ago, Australia voted in an obstructionist party with an obstructionist leader - Tony Abbott. What were his policies? "No!". That was it. His policies were basically to deny the incumbent government anything. So, he got into power. Despite being a senior political veteran of over two decades, he had no policies. It turns out that the "No!" doesn't cut it when you're in power, and it's all you've trained yourself to do. He lasted less than one term before his party replaced him, despite that same party using their opponent's previous early leader replacement as election material. So, in short, Americans now have a government that has trained itself to be obstructionist and not think about actual policy and consequences. Good luck.
