You seem to have made the mistake of confusing 'hippies', 'retards', 'deadbeats' and 'fuckwits' for 'lefties'. But trying to equate all lefties with insane extremist lefties is like trying to equate all righties with neo-nazis: so wildly inaccurate that it is laughable.

>>I'm currently reading a book called 'Cecil the Aardvark goes quantity surveying'; what do you think?<<

Speaking of inaccuracy...

I think that title should read 'Ethel the Aardvark goes quantity surveying'. Do you ever check your facts?

>>Is this article for real? Pathetic is the word i would use, and i am being kind.<<

Is this comment for real? It doesn't even qualify as pathetic, and I am being kind.

Cheers,

Tony lavis,
So, what is your take on the lefties then ? Do you agree/disagree that they're a pointless outfit ?

Ethel or Cecil ? This will settle it.

Isn't dividing politics into either Left or Right just so last century? I like Houellebecq's analogy.

I think having government that seesaws between two extremes, because we insist on only either having a left wing or right wing party in is harmful. It would be great to have government that is in the centre with a slight movement to either the right or the left of the spectrum depending on what is happening, what is deemed more important at that time. So a multiparty system. The Liberals should divide into 2 parties, Labor 3. Us voters would get a clearer picture then on the genesis of some policy proposals.

And the argument re private vs public health is a strawman. Private insurance pays a very small percentage only, not even half, of the cost of health care. Medicare pays the biggest slice towards the cost of private hospital care. And then you still are out of pocket. Pushing people taking up private health insurance is a rort only benefitting insurance companies who will not even cover you fully even if you wanted to and pay for it.

Atman,
yeah, very funny. Just sad that this has actually become reality since.
