Out of interest, and anonymously, who are you going to vote for or who *would* you vote for?

Well, anonymously, I'd vote Labo(u)r if I could.

Yeh, they are all lying weasels that will promise the Earth just to get into power but there is no way I'd vote for the other lot.

I had an email from some Green person waffling along for a long time about what they will do to make my life better and do I want more emails and will I vote for them in the upcoming elections.

He/She got a very snotty reply which told them many things one of which was that as I am only a PR at the moment it would be illegal (won't say impossible) for me to vote for anyone but they could rest assured that when I am able to vote, because they were incompetent they would not get my vote. Not had a reply back yet.

No idea who I'd vote for when I am eligible, need to see at first hand more incompetence from all parties before making a decision.

Keel

She isn't the most eloquent speaker......... and some would say she isn't very bright?

What I like about her is what you see...... is what you get.

She speaks from the heart and she isn't afraid to say what a lot of Australians think...... but are too afraid to say?

I had an issue with her because I am married to an Asian............. wasn't too sure if we were all going to get deported or not?

If she had sacked her speech writers and stopped the influx of undesirables to her party........... she would have won the last election hands down.

As it happened........... all the other pollies ganged up on her cos she had them running scared......... and due to her ignorance and gross incompetence on the part of her admin staff.......... the poor lady ended up in jail which was pretty disgusting really.

What party is Natasha Stott Despoja? One of the minor ones I think. Anyway if she came knocking on my door asking me for a vote I would give her one.

PS I seem to remember her policies are quite good too.

Who's who? im totally confused by the setup over here and keep meaning to try and understand it all but never seem to find the enthusiasm...

ALP = Labour? = that Rudd twat? = Australia grind to a halt, unions galore ?
Liberal= Howard ?
Coalition? whats that about I thought that was Howard to?

Greens are pretty self explanatory

No idea on the others listed.

I would vote Liberal.

I hate socialists, quasi socialists, champagne socialists, left-wingers. All are a waste of space and have done nothing. Labor are one of these - delete as applicable.

KRudd/Dillard will be a disaster for Australia.

Yup I loved her policy of wanting to stop all this bloody migration. Tell all those foreign people to P off and leave us Aussies alone.

Liberal is Howard

The Coalition are Liberal and Nationals which was formed quite some time ago and the Libs dont go up against the Nats in seats in the country etc.

I particularly liked her outlook on there being too many Brits over here now; it's time we had a cut-off point and say "No more Poms allowed"

Only kidding................. she never said that.

I liked her take on we should be one united Australia .............. doesn't matter if we are black, green, brown, or brindle.......... we all get treated the same.
