    Our politicians are bad, but that’s because they believe in awful political positions and/or kowtow to their donors’ interests. There’s a cap on how bad they can get though because the sort of Trumpian reverence doesn’t work here. Our closest equivalent is probably Clive Palmer, who got elected as an MP for like one term in one semi-rural electorate.
