Dear RM,

With all due respect you know nothing about me.
Therefore labeling me is neither logical nor an
encouragement to further intelligent discussion.It's
merely an indication of your own biases.

Of course I believe in choices as my posting
history shows. The point that I was making however
was that going on past history minor political
parties don't have a great success rate - however
that does not mean that they should stop trying.
Merely that I'm not interested in giving them my support.
And that is MY choice.

From the website:
"There are several underlying themes inherent: the "hourglass" indicating a need to act while there is still time (our society is under threat from utopian "extremist liberal" totalitarianism); the notion of "stripping", of removing the excess, revealing the true form underneath ("Stripping" is also a gradual process, not a sudden transformation); and an overt playfulness, in contrast to the boring bureaucracy of other political parties.

Anyone who has a problem with the "sexist" image can save their breath.
I don't want to hear your Windbag Manifesto Diatribe. Go away.

Stay tuned."

Great stuff, that should attract them by the bus loads. Personally I liked Sun's boiled egg. What breed of chicken did it come from? Looks like a black one, there will be party members who will demand all eggs should only come from Aryan (white) chickens.

For clarity, the above quote is NOT from FREE Party Australia.

Where does your party stand with regard to democracy? That is one person one vote!

Proportional representation

You live in a state where a party with less than 50% of the vote controls more than 80% of the parliament.

Hi Producer,

I'm not convinced proportional voting is pragmatic in the lower house, although I am personally in favour of it in the upper house. We don't have a party policy, and we have not considered the issue in sufficient depth to have one. Please feel free to make a policy suggestion (preferably via the web site form).
Cheers,
