By Peter Pyke, published 16/7/2010

The advent of the Republican Democrats means there could be a third mainstream political force in Australia.

KH, but the greens stand for open borders, zero limits on immigration, especially the poorest, sickest, craziest possibble that we can find to bankrupt our already struggling health care system?

Poor Aussies are living on the street already, both Black, First Australians & White Second Australians. The immigrants are ahead of eveybody for Welfare, Public Housing, Public Hospitals, everything.

What have these Aussies done to you?

Why do you hate them so much?

Spare me the rubbish, Formersnag.
I don't like the Greens asylum policy either (which, in reality is based off the Canadian policy- not some magical open-border policy that some idiots think it is).

However, there are MORE important issues- such as privatization, political corruption and corporate lobbying, individual rights, consumer rights, Australian assets being sold off to corrupt companies jacking up prices, inferior consumer rights to Americans, bigger monopolies lobbying the government to prevent competition from other companies and products, Lane Cove Tunnel, Telstra, our backwards broadband technology, Conroy's net-filter.

Also, Liberal and Labor government have hardly put much effort into stopping Islamic extremists- Labor recently allowed members of Hizb ut Tahir into Australia to give a hate-speech pro-Sharia convention, and neither party ever bothered to ban them (although they kept promising they might). Let's not forget Paul Keating's deal with Hilali. Or Frazer being the reason he was in the country to begin with. And lets not forget how John Howard eventually caved into lobbyists demanding David Hicks be returned.
Yes, these are definitely people who care about our security.

There's One Nation- but their policies on social conduct, problem with Asians and Indigenous affairs turns me off.

So, either you vote ON/AF if immigration is of greater concern than domestic public/private and rights issues, Greens if the reverse, or you can vote for the majors (or this new RepDem party) and get neither.
Of course, there are plenty of independents you should check out too- thought I cannot comment because I don't know whose in your electorate.

I have only one question... How does one have a chance meeting in a taxi?

So, who was working as a taxi driver? Peter or Graham? Or did they both happen to get in a taxi at the same time?

I'd hazard a guess and say Peter driving, the Tory sitting in the rear seat and whingeing about the fare.
