Imagine a Parliament where there is no more adolescent behaviour.
Imagine a Parliament where all have real life experience.
Imagine a Parliament where all have worked real jobs.
Imagine a Parliament where most have children … and grandchildren.
Imagine a Parliament where they really do care more about the children’s future, because they have little future left for themselves.
Imagine a Parliament where noone gets more than two terms in office.
Imagine a Parliament where noone has a motive to put off important decisions to mañana.
Imagine a Parliament where noone has an incentive to game the system in preparation for life after Parliament.
Imagine a Parliament where all have a motive to build a positive legacy for the history books … because they will soon be in them.
Imagine a Parliament where there is little incentive to use the “banana alibi“.
Imagine a Parliament where all have extra incentive to improve the national average wage … because that is the maximum they can earn.
Imagine a Parliament where noone gets to live high on the public teet.
Imagine a Parliament where most will likely be dead within a decade of service … so we won’t have to listen to attention-seeking long after they are irrelevant.
Imagine a Parliament where they have all seen and heard it all before.
Imagine a Parliament where the nation receives the benefit of life experience.
Imagine a Parliament where the nation receives the benefit of matured patience.
Imagine a Parliament where the nation receives the benefit of accrued wisdom.
Imagine a Parliament where the nation receives the benefit of long memories.
Imagine a Parliament where the condition of entry is a senior citizen’s card.
Imagine a Parliament where the House wears a halo of white.
Imagine a Parliament of our Nannas and Pops.
