Agree with that one Greens to go but indeed I with there was an alternative to Dumb and Dumber there needs to be a counterbalance but not the way the Greens used it to prop up a failure even though they knew it was damaging Australia.

To me they just wanted there days of being the power behind Labor and getting to push through there party's agenda.

The real tragedy is we have Labor and Liberals now running around pledging money $1 Million here a couple of million there BUT if Rudd had not messed around with border protection we would have had in excess of $6 BILLION DOLLARS, which has been wasted on these Economic Invaders and it is costing $ BILLIONS more every year.

They could have created lots of jobs, raised pensions a lot of good things, only 1 person to blame Rudd.

It's about the only good point about the past three years, that, and the fact that the so called independents will join them in the dole que.

It was bound to happen, all that was needed was time for them to prove they are out of touch, and they did a Stella job of it.

Outside Tasmania the Greens really have no leadership structure and are not a unified party in the sense that the majors are. Whether you agreed with his views or not Bob Brown was a leader, he has "dash" and credibility as an activist, none of the other elected Greens do and what's more their party has no working class members or supporters, it's seen as a bastion of inner city elitism and it's policies are damaging to the interests of normal people.
What have the Greens actually done? Did they use their leverage to end the wars and bring the troops home early, did they give us a Denticare scheme, did they even use their influence to change refugee policy? No, no and no, they've done nothing for this country.

While Indy,s statement is far from the only one, it highlights what I knew we would get here.
Greens of course have far more than one policy.
And it has policy,s that bring certain folk to them.
Mostly not two headed Hippy,s, but folk like us.
It is the policy,s that condemn the greens, and in the end, force the voter who went to them looking for a home, to leave.
Politics are always about getting the numbers to get elected.
Any honest review of greens policy,s, they have many, will show they seem to want only to gain power by holding the balance of power.
Not by having policy,s that bring near a majority.
Born and powered by our preferential voting system they will die by it as elections like the coming one, high lighting results of preferences and the nations devisions demanding a clear winner Greens still look for the crumbs to build their party.
In time we may see the down side in our system, and see one vote one value is a better way.
While we wait for that remember next time some one thinks that is unfair, or as they claim un Democratic.
If that boat floats it says loud and clear minority's over rideing the wish of majority is their target, that, never will be the Democratic way.

Quote "Greens of course have far more than one policy."

Trouble is there policy on boat people far outweighs anything good they could have.

But I agree they have some good policies but the only way they will be able to do anything is to prop up a minority Government.
