Voting confusion - which party of last resort? : Comments

By Niall Lucy, published 25/8/2010

The Greens should take care not to think that 'smug' is a good look.

This was not a Mark Latham election but one the electors expressed their views. They exercised their rights and it is wrong to argue this now creates instability because there can be no government instability as such but there can be voting instability in the parliament but that is as to voting on bills, not how to govern.
It amazes me that with my crummy English as a CONSTITUTIONALIST I seem to be the only person who really understand/comprehend what is constitutionally appropriate, see my blog at http://www.scribd.com/InspectorRikati for a set out of the relevant constitutional matters regarding this issue of commissioning a person to form a government. Who will form the next government has nothing to do with the majority in the Parliament as it is a prerogative power exercised by the Governor-General and so WITHOUT the advise of the Prime Minister!
Neither Julia Gillard, Tony Abbott or for that anyone else elected for the House of Representatives are Members of Parliament until after the return of the writs when they take up a seat! There is no hung Parliament because the only members are the Senators at this time. And, back in 1901 E. Barton was commissioned to form a government without any Parliament existing and was subsequently elected. Don’t confuse the role of a government with that of the Parliament, and I for one having campaigned for long for electors to vote for INDEPENDENTS to bring about a lesson to the major political parties am satisfied they are getting their message.
On 19 July 2006 I defeated comprehensively the Commonwealth that compulsory voting is unconstitutional and while I do not oppose voting I oppose any form of compulsory voting and the Court upheld my cases! This my blog also displays. Voting is our constitutional rights but in the way we desire and not hijacked by politicians dictating how we should vote! See also my website http://www.schorel-hlavka.com. As for the Greens as a CONSTITUTIONALIST I view that some of their alleged issues are a constitutional nonsense. Do I need to say more?

Just to add. I urge all people to read the constitution and to check for themselves what it really stands for. (Albeit check with my blog and website that explains a lot and I provide the information FREE OF CHARGE!) Surely this is the least I could ask people to do as after all it is our constitution! And once you realise the trrue meaning and application you might even discover that State land Taxes are in fact beyond State legislative powers and so a lot more.
So, take your time and you may in the process become so informed that you could make informed decisions next time a politician makes some claim why he/she should be elected!
