This political deadlock will be profound, significant and long term, causing a long awaited upheaval in the structure of political parties.

It would solve all this if minor parties were kept out of the senate;
But, if we did that we would be stuck forever with tweedle de and
tweedle dum with the Greens yapping along behind.
We need the small parties in the senate so that they can demonstrate
their political ability and build a support base of voters.

One suggestion was to have the senate be able to reject a bill only once.
This is the procedure in the House of Lords.

If we get a senate that rejects everything then the government will
have no choice but to go for another double dissolution.

The only other solution is to do away with the senate.
Well for me I will vote for the Australian Liberty Alliance.
Their manifesto reads well and I have no problem with it.
Their policies seem pretty level headed, no red neck bluster there.
