I applaud Tony Abbott for declaring that he will not form a minority Govt.
Yes... cut the Greens out.
We have a failed experiment.
Let us move on.

Shame on Kevin and Julia for not making a stand and for compromising their stand all the time.

Banjo it remains true some green voters do preference your side.
Yet only in two lower house seats will both sides not preferenceing them matter, one in NSW another in Melbourne, they hold the Vic one on Liberal preferences.
It is the Senate that matters.
Remember they only have three seats in danger and in all truth one only a possible loss.
Platypus, ah lets not go their Gillard is gone good ridance.
My thought in starting this was simple.
See Greens contributors think be anti green is because we do not understand.
I happen to think using nothing but mathematics, truth and seeing trends, we could prove they have had their day in the sun.
Yes emotions from dislike to hate are seen on mentioning the word green.
But a truth hidden from them but in plain sight just can never be ignored.
Many more, by at least 8 to one, who do not vote for them grow more certain they never will after hearing and seeing rat bag policy,s they hold.
I would beg that voters look at the NSW upper house and see the real damage to Democracy a few from minor party,s voting with Labor are doing.
We need a Senate controlled by other than one or the other majors like a hole in the head, your senate HTV needs your attention.

Dear Platypus,

So you admire Mr Abbott for declaring that he will
not form a minority government? But isn't his
party a Coalition? Would his party ever get elected
in their own right -
without the Nationals?

Just a thought.

'Would his party ever get elected
in their own right -
without the Nationals?

I take it you are desperately hoping no Lexi. It is quite likely they won't need the Nationals although most of the Nationals would be far better than the progressives (really regressives) in the Liberal party. The point is the likely PM Abbott has seen what a total diaster a slimy minority Government has been. Windsor and Oakshott have got what they deserved. They ignored their electorate through self interest and hatred and are now history.

Dear runner,

Actually you'd have no idea of what I'm hoping for
in this election. The same as what you're spruiking
is sheer nonsense. But its a public forum and if you
want to look silly - go on doing it.

Cheers.

'Actually you'd have no idea of what I'm hoping for

An Abbott victory? Surely not Lexi!
