Federal Election Lessons We Learned


Listen Later

Many have complained about the ünnecessary, expensive, and expensive" Federal election.

As an Engaged Citizen with lots of concerns, I think it was a worthwhile and even timely exercise in applied democracy.

We all learned some things and valuable lessons.  The Party Leaders learned they had to deal with pandemic politics and personal attacks.

The Candidates learned that campaigns mattervolunteers are key to winning and getting out the vote makes the difference.

Citizens learned that we have power to make chages, evern if that mesn reaffirming the Liberal Minority government.

Citizenship Power is especially potent at election time.  that's when Parties and Candidates reuly pay attention to you.  

They are after our attention and approval so the powr shipft form the MP to tht Citizen.

We learned that apathy is boring and indifference is debilitating and together they are dangerous to a robust and sustainable democracy.
