BM,

You like to throw around tags, "The Greens in particular and the Teals to a slightly lesser extent are strongly socialist in their views and, dare I say it, communist." Looking you up, you were a member of the extreme right of the Liberal Party, and dare I say it, fascists! Tags are cheep, you are an old school reds under the beds man in my opinion.

Good joke. Me as an extreme right winger in the Liberal Party and a fascist. Ha ha. You clearly know little about me whereas I know a lot about the green movement and its Green/Teal MPs, having been a volunteer in conservation movement for over 40 years.
Best if you try again! :-)

This is not you?

"Bernard Kent Masters is a former Australian member of parliament who served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Western Australia from 1996 to 2005, representing the seat of Vasse. He was a member of the Liberal Party until 2004, when he resigned to sit as an independent."

Lost preselection did you? Got chucked out by the people at the next election, like Angela Merkel are you a failed politician? Some would say so, without the "protection" of a large political party (Liberal) and standing on your own merits, you got rolled by the electors.

I'm not sure how many Bernie Masters have been state MP's, you said; "(You are) someone who has been a state MP".

If you are going to throw that old chestnut around of tagging people "communist" without evidence, then tags of Fascists are just as appropriate, also without evidence.
