Why Do We Expect Things To Stay The Same In Politics?
You know what kills me? Politicians and people who say things like; “That’s not the way we did things with the last government.” or “Why are things different now?” When ever I’ve had a new boss for example, I have always expected changes. Whether it’s a change in the way we operate, or co-workers being reassigned or fired, there are always major changes when their is a replacement at the top. If things were going well there wouldn’t be any changes, so why are people so dumb founded when changes are made. After thirteen years of Federal Liberal rule, many people are grumbling about what they think are drastic changes in ideology by the Conservative Party. What did you expect? They were the opposition! Did you think they would emulate their predecessors? Come on, step into reality; people who don’t like the current government should have thought about this easy human nature issue before they voted. They shouldn’t be surprised by it. Mr. Harper and his gang are going to do things differently, just the same as any new boss would. That’s life, that’s human nature, that’s politics too. Don’t be surprised by it!
