But Indi, he has to care in the right way. I’ve heard nothing to indicate that Clive knows anything about sustainability or the imperative to stop the demand for everything from continuously increasing for as long and the essential resource supply capability and supporting infrastructure and services are stressed right out, which is our reality in Australia.

If Clive was to mirror some of Dick Smith’s concerns in this regard, then he’d have my full support. But I doubt he’d get it otherwise.

Ludwig - he has to care in the right way. I’ve heard nothing to indicate that Clive knows anything about sustainability or the imperative to stop the demand for everything from continuously increasing for as long and the essential resource supply capability and supporting infrastructure and services are stressed right out, which is our reality in Australia.

Neither the ALP nor the LNP give a rats about sustainibility / curbing demand, in fact its quite obvious that because of their ever-increasing need for revenue, both are devoted to big-Australim / multintionalism / consumerism / economic growth, and all the other evils of modern society. Note that I'm ignoring the carbon-tax con which was only conceived as another source of revenue. On the other hand, I've yet to hear any questions re the aforementioned issues put to Big Clive so we can't even guess as to his policies.

Those policies which have already been aired are certainly far more appealing than the ALP / LNP equivalents, for example onshore processing of minerals, banning career politicians, slashing payouts to has-been bloodsucking parasites, his innovative (albeit tried & proven overseas) proposal re boat people etc. The major parties have had years to discover and implement any of the above but all the clowns have done is frantically line their own pockets, appoint friends to cushy jobs, and squander our money on ever more pointless causes. What further incenses me about the red-headed witch, the dying duck & the wong wun is the half-billion dollars they have squirrelled away to fund their futile attempt at re-election. Surely that must be an all-time low in a litany of highly questionable doings

<< Neither the ALP nor the LNP give a rats about sustainibility / curbing demand… >>

Too right, Praxidice.

And therein lies the single biggest issue confronting our national future wellbeing.

We desperately need a new political force specifically to address this issue, above all others. Katter doesn’t get it. It would appear the Palmer doesn’t it either.

Now, wouldn’t it be just wonderful if big Clive was to see the great opportunity here to do something really good for the country, which would stand out as being very different from the current political paralysis and which would appeal greatly to the masses.

<< I've yet to hear any questions re the aforementioned issues put to Big Clive so we can't even guess as to his policies. >>

Likewise. I’ve heard many of his interviews and there has not been a single mention of this sort of thing!

What we desperately need is for Clive and Dick and the Stable Population Party to join forces!

Then we’d REALLY have something worth voting for!

Its purely a stab in the dark on my part at this point in time, but my hope / guess / whatever is that the UAP / PUP is more likely to form a coalition if needed with a bunch of minor parties rather than to enter an incestuous relationship with RAbbott / Hockey / Turnbull. Note that Big Clive has promised in many interviews that he will 'listen'. That alone is far more than we can reasonably expect from the ALP who already have far too many voices clamouring to be heard in their own ridiculous caucus & the LNP which really should be re-named the 'lobbyist party' because thats the only tribe they listen to. My gut feeling is that the rift between Big Clive & the LNP is pretty deep, possibly too much so for any accommodation that isn't very heavily squewed in favour of the UAP / PUP. a meeeting of the minds with KAP, Pauline Hanson and a few other rats & mice would, to may way of thinking, be more likely and more beneficial than a UAP / PUP & LNP alliance. Just imagine Big Clive, Pauline Hanson & the RAbbott sitting together, life could be VERY interesting indeed. I for one would dearly love to see Pauline putting the RAbbott through the mincer :) :) :)

I remember the ridiculous "Joh for PM" campaign and how it split the conservative vote.

Now we have "Clive for PM".

I for one can see the irony of his plan to rebuild the Titanic.

His campaign will sink the same way as the ship.
