What is Wrong with Democracy Now?
Northside Community Voices is tired of the harm being done to Australian democracy by the failure of the two-party-preferred political system that is being manipulated by powerful industry lobby groups and hidden vested interests acting against the best interests or ordinary Australians.
We want Democracy to work Better for all Australians
We believe ordinary people should be more involved in how we choose our political representatives, and they should be more accountable to their voters in how they behave, make decisions and vote on issues. With party politics, the allegiances of representatives lie mainly in maintaining the electability of their party, rather than acting in the best interests and aligning with the values and priorities of their electorate.
