Why does it matter that politicians have held a real job?
In the private sector if you blow your budgets out they fire you. In a business you go broke. In government they apologise for the undue pressure, give you a bigger budget and then you get a promotion.
In the private sector if you over promise and under deliver, you’re seen as untrustworthy and you get excluded from future projects. In government they are shocked if you actually do what you said you would.
In business we rely on voluntary trade based on real value being exchanged. In government the currency is political favours, threats, quiet promises and access.
Our PM hasn’t had a job since 1994. Hardly any of the Cabinet have worked in a business that trades. These people don’t understand the basics of creating more value than you spend, sticking to a budget or keeping their word. In fact all of that is scoffed at in the political circles they’ve spent decades in.
Andy isn’t a man of the people who enjoys a pint like the real people. He’s a man of politics who hasn’t operated in the real world since Forest Gump was in the cinemas.
Our PM hasn’t even had to get elected - he couldn’t be more out of touch with reality.
