I find it very interesting that, apart from one gratuitously homophobic post, nobody has mentioned the Greens in this thread. Could this be because the Greens already offer the only coherent and sustainable alternative to the Right, Far Right and Loony Right politics on offer from the ALP, Coalition and Family First respectively?

All their policies, media releases, constitution etc are available for anybody to peruse at http://www.greens.org.au .

This obvious alternative seems to have thus far escaped the astute analysis of most of the contributors to this thread (and indeed in the wider forums provided by OLO). I guess that these forums don't attract many of the rapidly increasing ranks of Green voters.

Now why would that be, I wonder?

the Greens are more loony than the looniest of loonies. Led by a Homosexual, that alone says heaps about the party and its clearly gay agenda.
We have looked at green policies and feel that they are weak on many fronts. Seriously flawed, biased toward sexual agenda and fringe environmental issues.
The better solution to the problem of 'right and left' in the major parties is cearly Family First, as will be demonstrated at the next election, either state of federal. U never know, FF might come up with some innovative green policies of its own

I guess that's another gratuitously homophobic post, eh? Sigh...

I think that the evident homophobia in some of the posts here says far more about their writers, than the sexuality of their leader says about the Greens. Wasn't this supposed to be a forum for the exchange of critical thought?

Boaz, are you sure there are no homosexuals in the Family First party?

Hi Grace..
actually, I don't know enough about the particular members to comment definitively on that. I would assume though, that given their basic principles of operation and social values, it would be doubtful that a homosexual would feel comfortable among them.
Hope your weekend is going well.

Yup... just like the churches, I'd reckon. Like, there'd be no AOG homosexuals, would there? Out of the closet ones, I mean...
