... its just politics: The integrity deficit in political leadership

Malcolm Wood

4.9/5 (11036 ratings)

Description:The electorate’s low trust in politicians may suggest low expectations. And integrity in political leadership may be dismissed as a contradiction in terms. But many people crave a higher standard of politics than prevails. In the public sector, as in business, the foremost element of leadership is integrity. Are political institutions, at the apex of government, inevitably or necessarily so different?This book analyses weak governance in the Parliament of Australia and Commonwealth political machinery, and presents a range of political misconduct, from sleaze and hypocrisy, through breaches of entitlements, to conflicts of interest and rorts. Behaviour aside, policy may be unethical or may undermine democratic values and civil liberties. But compromise, expediency and ruthlessness are necessary to gaining and retaining office and wielding power; parties govern, in the end, to benefit or appease constituencies. Also, governments, unsurprisingly, go to great lengths to hide their weaknesses and faults, and avoid accountability. To what extent, then, is integrity an unrealistic measure of leadership in politics?This analysis of Australia’s political leadership, stretching back fifty years from Scott Morrison to Gough Whitlam, is both political philosophy and history.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
