More so in regards to political division seb.
I think I've expressed that when it comes to social policies I'm a rather firm believer in Democracy and when it comes to Economics I advocate a non-ideological approach focused issue to issue considerations, attempting to utilise public debate as avoiding the combined issues of the see-saw effect(tend to radicalise into two sides in a debate), the confident idiot(knowing less results in someone being more confident in what they do know) and group exaggeration(when you have a group of people who agree with each other opinions tend to get pushed to the extreme.
Basically I'm worried that the polarised nature of current US politics is gonna start seeping into Australia and bring all the political instability, needless inefficiency and conflict with it. I've seen some of my mates convinced Hilary was the devil incarnate and I saw some of my mates convinced that it was Trump. I'm worried that the zealous dogmatism is gonna infect our politics and make it even more unworkable than it currently is. Hell this could even start it by politicising Australian foreign policy in the debate between whether we should ditch the US for China, ditch the US for a middle ground or to cling to the US like a baby with attachment issues.
