Each of our threads on politics now and for a few years show vastly different views heated or not.
This was about factions, and yet as we strayed I at least saw evidence why all party's have them.
Paul and I sometimes put the boot in,we some times agree, but each wants nothing to do with the others team.
I would feel betrayed, if Labor merged with Greens.
Such for me would be replacing raisins in a cake mix with blue metal.
Remember the Democrats? Don Chip was a man well liked in his party Liberal.
He and Natasha after lead well, but other leaders as I see the greens, insisted on selling fridges to Icelanders, and seemed surprised at going out of business.
Factions unite party's, and give some unwanted a place to cry that they sell products few want.

Early start again farmer markets.
If you take the time you can hear us speak our minds about politics in such places.
Some, from all sides, seem to have forgotten the basics.
Claims will be made that all party's and all their members are bad.
In truth not even close, even the greens have good folk, we ignore we find others views wrong, but never our own.
Factions are not evil, just consider what we would confront without them.
Within Conservative ranks both pro and anti carbon tax factions exist.
We see other views on boat people there too.
Abbott's big new tax, on business to fund parental leave for those on incomes up to $150.000 are apposed too, in his own party.
Some want to support the motor industry others not, in that party.
Steel industry support is both proposed and opposed in Liberal ranks.
Factions, in the end, give voice to all views then, thankfully, the majority gets its way.
Leaving, only sometimes, a minority who, such as the greens, says the system is broken.
It will be, the day we let minority's over rule majority's.

Only some will know what faction the real winner in Gillards reshuffle came from.
No joy for me, I truly think I understand the for me, horrible future under a Conservative Government, or will it be Liberal, a return to Turnbull.
But Swan, a bloke I have liked all his time in the house, is getting slower.
And while Carr will prosper, may even be the third candidate,saving a spot at the top for a future leader, I am unsure we can progress.
My apparent contempt for some actions of the controlling faction, neglect to state that is my chosen faction.
But I just have no choice, my party needs openness it needs to know it is no board game, to be played with by others.
