By Ian Robinson, published 7/11/2013

In the first place only 45% voted for the Coalition, which could be interpreted as 55% not wanting their policies.

Poirot I've been quiet lately because that posionus labor government has gone.

Perhaps you don't notice, or don't care to notice, but CONFIDENCE is on the increase.

I have said all along, that's what's needed, and that's what labor ruined.

I will just sit back and be entertained by the Palmer road show for a while.

It's about time we had a bit of color in our politics.

The socialists have been disputing that their opponents had a mandate ever since Lenin was their pin-up boy.

Remember the Bolshevik V Menshevik wrangle? The Bolsheviks were actually in the minority but claimed the moniker Bolshevik which meant majority.

Just like their Bolshevik buddies todays socialists will dispute anyone else could ever have a mandate. And... just like their Bolshevik buddies, they are all for silencing their opponents.A number of *the-libs-dont-have-a-mandate* brigade on this thread have in the past openly advocated that any discussion of AGW or illegal immigration should be censored.

Thanks, rehctub.

Here's an update for you.

The govt has just borrowed a further $1.0 billion, 4 years, yield 3.14%.

Total gross borrowings since 9 September is $22.9 billion.

Just sayin'....

These lefties are just so obvious aren't they, while congratulating themselves on their clever spin.

They are saying a government has no mandate, so by inference no requirement to keep their election promises.

Well sorry Ian you don't get off the hook of telling barefaced lies that easily.

What idiot came up with the strategy of resisting the repeal of the carbon tax your lot lied about? I can't see how you can not see this just keeps your lying nature foremost in peoples mind.

All you achieve is giving Abbott a bit more money to help him climb out of the hole you dug, while belting you around the head with it. Some policy!

It is now becoming obvious Gillard was smarter than you lot, not much for sure, but still smarter. I think she also topped you in being a nasty vindictive lying bitch as well, only time will tell there, but definitely not as dumb.

SM,

We've lost count of the number of rorts attributed to members of the LNP.

And mousy MSM appears to allow these shockers to sweep each case under the carpet.

Fascinating indeed....
