Lexi,
Preferential voting means that whether the Lib & Nats were amalgamated or stood separately their exchange of preferences would
mean the result would be the same.
Thats what preferential voting is all about !

'Shadow Minister'

>> Read my first post again. Then try and tell me where I said that the election was literally a referendum on the carbon tax. <<

Try reading the TITLE of your thread.

Let me help ... “Queensland election, a referendum on the carbon tax.”

Looks and sounds pretty literal to most people reading your guff, Shadow Minister.

.

Spindoctor, like ‘Shadow Minister’ and Tony Abbott, squirming and wriggling - obviously severed a nerve.

.

For the benefit of others (I’ve given up on OLO’s ‘Shadow Minister’ and ‘spindoctor as comprehensively and completely bereft of logic).

Before the election, Tony Abbott urged Queenslanders to use their vote to send a message to Labor on the tax, liking the election to a “referendum on the carbon tax” (his words).

No doubt as Bazz pointed out http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=5046#135579 , they did.

However, straight after the election … Tony Abbott tried to distance himself from his pre-election, shoot-from-the-hip, Sarah Palin style gaff about a “referendum on the carbon tax” (his words).

I have respect for worms, not the motley wrigglers infesting this thread.

For what it’s worth, I think Campbell Newman did a fantastic job – let’s hope he gets Qld back on track.

PS

spindoctor, your last comment: http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=5046#135617

A display of your maturity and reasoning abilities, well done.

Foot in mouth disease is prevalent, tis Toni.
CN says lower power costs, will fix it. QLD has livable faults.
Some here say wages to high for non trained labor, but QLD has a livability crisis.
CN will fix it. When ya gonna start.

bonmot, and the article in the Courier Mail, Feb. 24 is where precisely? Oh yes, don’t mention it. Ship it off to the next galaxy as we don’t wish to acknowledge or debate it, especially since it contradicts all you have asserted.

There would seem to be very little that you are prepared to tackle head on, apart from the rake handle that is, but I’m sure that isn’t voluntary.

I love the smell of burning bonmot in the morning, or anytime really.

As for my reasoning capabilities? All I did was post the full article from the Courier Mail, if you have any issues with that, take it up with the Editor.

Ideological sucker!

BM,

So you admit, that you only read the headline and not the post. And now you are claiming that I am bereft of logic because the "headline" is not fully self explanatory?

Have you any idea how idiotic that sounds? It does, however, explain disconnectedness of your posts from the subject. The rest of the bluster I guess is some attempt to recover from your gaff.

Ah! Shadow Minister, you forget.

bonmot has appealed to a higher authority. Maybe you missed it SM, but it is significant.

bonmot the magnificent says;

<< For the benefit of others (I’ve given up on OLO’s ‘Shadow Minister’ and ‘spindoctor as comprehensively and completely bereft of logic).>>

You and I are duly dismissed because we’re unworthy of being heard (logically) by ordinary OLO’ers. <<For the benefit of others>>, there you have it. We are just trash and unworthy of a response or explanation from bonmot the magnificent. You and I are such losers SM. You and I are just “worms, motley wrigglers infesting this thread”.

I have always thought that to be reincarnated as a nematode worm would be preferable to coming back as an incomprehensible leftie. Mainly because we all know what a nematode worm is all about. I changed my mind when I considered the possibility of infesting the remains of a ‘bonmot”. Even I would baulk at that.

So get your "brown stuff" together SM, shape up, and recognize as I have to do, that we are just non-leftoid trailer trash. So sayeth bonmot the magnificent. You are not worthy of an explanation from the uber-intelligencia.

He he
