It would be very weird indeed if the world came to a standstill whenever we voted for a government. Although I have to admit, even our current PM, who is an imbecile, appears to be amazingly competent when compared to this Johnson guy.

Australian politics is boring. Generally speaking we elect a new one each term and have no investment in the process other than to punish the previous government by voting them out.

Generally we elect a new one each term. Then it's a bit like Survivor, if the Prime Minister is too popular (with the voters) then his or her own party vote them off the island. If the new Prime Minister is too unpopular then his or her own party vote them off the island. It is extremely rare for a Prime Minister to be not-too-popular and not-too-unpopular enough to survive a full term. We have had 6 Prime Ministers since 2007 and not one of them has served a full term.

With the current state of what we have allowed to happen in this country, a Two Party system, I do not believe that a Libertarian or an Independent has a snowball's chance of ever getting elected to any substantial office.

I do not need to see any of your whataboutisms, but you know I am right. I will admit to a few having passed through Congress, but they are hamstrung from the outset.

President Trump may be as close to firing a Romulan Disruptor at the ingrained system as we may ever be.

As it stands, Gary has about 22% of a 3 way vote. To put it in football parlance, he's 14 points down with 3:00 left in the game. Not impossible but not easy.

Providing counter-examples is NOT "what-aboutism". It is clear evidence that there are exceptions.

"What-aboutism" is an attempt to deflect an argument, by showing a case where it didn't apply in
the exact same manner, even thought there are differences in circumstances.
