... politicians were often too drunk to vote on anything.

Well ...

They may be drunk politicians, but they're OUR drunk politicians. At least they're not shoving ID cards and schoolyard fingerprint machines down our throats. So, if getting sozzled is the difference then beers all round, I say.

Where's the "Piss on the Union Jack" icon when you need it?

The voters have the remedy in their hands at election time, and I suppose that the legislature itself can vote a censure if need be.

Dangerous talk ..

Unhappy

The prospect of sober pollie's is frightening. Having them awake and alert through Parliamentary sittings could results in one of them having an idea. Better they stay pissed and clueless as we expect them to be.

That'll be the "our country was founded by heroic revolutionaries who gave the finger to the functionaries of a tyrannical and out of touch government icon" thanks.

Maybe you'd like some of us to come back and help you with your current problems

True

But on the other hand your pols are trying to restrict info to your country by a Chinese Firewall, so they are no bargain either.

And you have elected some doozies in the recent past, Pauline Hanson springs to mind

Struck by the irony.

I found the concept of getting an authoratitive quote on pissed-up politicians from someone called "Stoner" rather amusing meself.

Presumably the actual quote went something like: "Hey man, I didn't know he was drunk, you know? I mean, like, it's not all bad. You need to relax more and kick back.............hey, is that Elvis over there with the pixie people?"

If you drink then legislate you are a bloody idiot!

For UK users the campaign was "if you drink then drive......"

This term I don't want to catch ANYONE not drinking...
