Not the Bullingdon

The Australian Political Reform Club is not particularly suitable for university students, of any sort, as members.

Regardless of their ages, such students usually either lack maturity, lack money or lack time.  They may even lack maturity, money and time.

The Australian Political Reform Club certainly has nothing much in common with the Oxford Bullingdon Club, even though most of the members of both clubs apparently appreciate good food. 

The Australian Political Reform Club does not even have much in common with the University Pitt Club of Cambridge.

Nor does it have much in common with any former Pitt Clubs or former or ongoing pit bull clubs, apart from pursuing the necessary moderation of revolutionary and/or violent tendencies.

If you are a suitably advanced, quaternary Australian student of comparative politics, you are unlikely to be in the habit of throwing money around in public, or even in private, regardless of the source of the money.

You are unlikely to have ever behaved like a drunken vandal, at any age.

You are unlikely to have developed a reputation for acting in a bullying or grandiose sort of way, anywhere.

You are much more likely to be an enlightened world leader and a well-informed political philanthropist.

You may or may not believe the world was quite a different place than today, back in 1781.

You may or may not have any experience at pitting reformers against charlatans.

While you may be quite well acquainted with Queen Charlotte and King George III, and even with the politics of the 1780s and/or 1980s.

You may or may not know much about the political opinions of the current Princess Charlotte and Prince George.

While the Australian Political Reform Club is obviously interested in raising funds with the assistance of excessively wealthy persons, members of the club abhor extravagance and boorishness.

The 1780s heir to the throne was known for objectionable extravagance, like the 1980s Bullingdon Club, and possibly even the 1980s heir to the throne.

George III himself supported one type of extravagance while opposing another.  

There have always been many hypocrites in the world. 

There has also long been an absurd disregard for civility amongst overly privileged persons, of course, especially whilst dining.

The overly privileged regard preparing for elections as extensions of their egos.

They do not learn from history.

They do not learn from democracy.

They have no awareness of how to learn from political disasters and political diamonds.

If you are seeking to acquire membership of the Australian Political Reform Club, what are you intending to offer in return, and why?

What have you discovered about political reform through the 1784 British general election result?

What have you discovered about political reform through the 1983 United Kingdom general election result and the 1983 Australian federal election result?

How do you compare political parties with dining clubs, and drinking clubs and state visits?

How do you compare political parties with advocacy groups and activist groups and arts organisations and overly privileged families and diplomatic conferences?

What do you know about Pitt Street in Sydney?
