Nice puff piece Andrew. How 'bout you take your morning dose of truth syrup.

I suggest you track down Pru Goward. One of her recent statement was along the lines that women wearing high heels are in similar bondage as women wearing burkhas. This kind of thinking fits well with Democrat philosophy. Good to see Natasha allowing her motherly instincts to come out.

"The Australian" editorial this morning nicely sums up the Democrats.

Really Andrew - your tedious clinging to "principles" of the democrats was exploded by Meg Lees - hanging on only means youdivide the anti major party vote - The Dems are dead - if you have principles quit and join Bob Brown

"The Democrats will provide the only non-partisan, non-aligned option at the next election"

a non-partisan political party?

Hey Runner, I suggest you track down Pru Goward and ask her which Party she's been preselected for in the forthcoming NSW election (hint - while you're at it, ask her about her husband's relationship with John Howard). You can't pin Goward's views (accurately reported by you or not) on the Democrats.

One further suggestion, if you are genuinely interested in policy positions as against blind assertion, why don't you ask the Democrats what their gender equity policy is?
