Less concentrating on the issues, more pandering to voting blocks. Also, I found the quote that confused me re your post on Australian maternity leave. From "The Maternal is Political: Women Writers at the Intersection of Motherhood and Social Change", edited by Shari Macdonald Strong. On the very first page it says: "For example, there are only four countries in the world that don't offer some form of paid leave for new mothers: Swaziland, Liberia, Papua New Guinea and the United States." Isn't that weird? And the copyright is 2008. Big research gap? Can I just say how much I don’t want another election? Less concentrating on the issues, more pandering to voting blocks.
