belly, "Abbott is no true Liberal"

LOL, monkey see, monkey do.

Labor's Andrew Leigh tried to work that one recently to the usual poor effect.

It is one of the same old, same old, Labor tactics to attack the Liberals' strength (having broad appeal) with the aim of causing a split between liberal and conservative in the Liberal Party. Hawke and Keating, both of whom were to become multimillionaires representing international entrepreneurs and foreign governments' interests, screamed 'Tory' a lot when they were in Parliament and always unconvincingly.

David Kemp in his 'The Liberals: A Short History of Liberalism in Victoria and Australia', the Liberal Party is "most successful when [it has] involved people broadly in the party and its causes. It is one of [the Party’s] great competitive strengths over Labor with its narrow sectional organisation."

The narrowness of Labor's organisation has been demonstrated over and over again as union heavies are involved in overthrowing an uncumbent PM, Kevin Rudd, and in dirty tricks such as the fracas of aboriginal tent protesters invading The Lobby Restaurant in Canberra to disrupt the Australia Day Awards, all because Tony Abbott was one of the guests. It was the infamous angry riot that led to the PM Julia Gillard fleeing shoeless to her government limousine.

This prax is the place politics gets a bit serious.
Some say Labor has moved to the right, with justification.
And Liberals further right, with justification.
In fact that party,s founder if alive today may well be a Labor leader.
Here is both the reason Labor moved and the sometimes damaging things it bought with the move.
Australians, believe me unionists/workers, are uniterested in Socialism.
Labor followed them, to survive, Liberals, after another red head, took its place further to the right, picking up some of her policy,s and most voters.
Labor, count me in this, was not truly thinking about the reaction to going easy on boat people, we got that wrong, Abbott never let us fix it.
So Labor had its other party watching to harm it, at the polls, the Greens, a party of words with no true intention to actually use its once only numbers in the home for geriatrics,failures and those to be rewarded for being useless, the senate.
We acting to keep our members away from them, lost memory's of just how much this country valued Howard stopping them.
Two party,s,both trying to keep two main factions in their camp, and we all suffer.
Abbott is not a Liberal, he will not last, but it will not be Labor that sees to that.
Get ready for extended protests and union action, but if you love our country hope the extremes both sides keep in their chook pen,extremes one vote one value is our best hope. .
