yes I agree with both these posts.
our political system is generating this kind of politics- because that's what it incentivises the politicians to do, blame each other, grandstanding and things that will play out well in the media rather than trying to fix things in the long run.

I can't see it being changed anytime soon though, as too many people who would need to be involved in changing it know where their bread is buttered.
