How Some Voters Moved From Bernie Sanders to Donald Trump

We've entered the era of gutless government

The article from The Sydney Morning Herald discusses the concept of "gutless government," where political leaders are increasingly avoiding making tough decisions due to fear of backlash, short-term political cycles, and the influence of social media. It highlights how this trend leads to policy paralysis, with examples like the reluctance to reform tax systems, address climate change effectively, or tackle housing affordability. The piece argues that this era of risk-averse governance results in a lack of visionary leadership, with politicians prioritizing their political survival over long-term national interests. It critiques the current political climate where leaders are more focused on managing public perception and avoiding controversy rather than enacting meaningful change, ultimately leading to a governance style that lacks courage and foresight.
