How Australia fixes its government

[bjld]

We had a similar problem in 1975 when the money needed to run the country wasn't approved by some politicians.

The solution was in our constitution and the government was fired and elections held.

It's a big over simplification - look up the 1975 Australian constitutional crisis or read an article about it from last week in the Washington Post.

Not that it helps our friends in the US.

Of course, to do that, you need a constitutional monarchy.

It's doable......

Au contraire mes amis.....it requires balls!

Article 5 of the Constution

Allows the STATE legislatures to convene a convention to offer amendments to the constitution that must be ratified by 3/5's of the same. This process bypasses the state Governors, the President, the judicial system, the Senate and the House of representatives, Our framers would NOT have ratified the Constitution until this was in it because they knew it would provide a means (constitutionally) to by pass an over oppressive federal Government. If anyone thinks the federal government is going to fix itself, they are wrong simply because it is of there own design.

This process is being promoted by Mark Levin (formally of the Reagan Administration) and is rapidly gaining momentum. The book is "The Liberty Amendments".... NY Times best seller, Amazon best seller and is available in almost every bookstore and on Amazon. it is a tremendous eyeopener.

no, you need a Parlimentary form of government.

Of course, to do that, you need a constitutional monarchy.

Not the representative Republic we have in the US. We can do it too, just takes longer. and is more uncertain
