Dear ConservativeHippie,

Saving the Country by Saving the Coalition?

I don't think so - although I can't offer you
a better solution. To me the whole political
process seems to be in a sad state of affairs.
We used to debate policies but debates today
seem to be all about personal attributes,
personalities and as Steve Bracks stated a
few years ago - "...these days politics is
more about gaining and holding office than
wishing to improve things for the better."

We need new blood. But I suspect the "old guard,"
of all persuasions won't give up their control.
So its going to continue in much the same way -
sadly. Got any young eager beavers who'd be
good?

Dear Hippie,

<<There is no doubt the country has some serious problems>>

A country has no problems - it doesn't care what's done to it, only people do, in this case because some of them want to have a nation and it's not working as they were hoping.

The best way to save the coalition is to give them some time in opposition. And coincidentally, that would go a fair way to saving the country too.

Only one problem there Aidan, that would mean either a Labor government, or even worse, another Labor Green concoction.

In either case the cure would actually finish the job Ruddy & the red head started. I doubt we would survive such a catastrophe.

If that occurs we might as well give the place to the Muslims. At least they would stick a bag over the heads of all these lefty women.

What poetic justice that would be.

Dear Hasbeen,

It's not "these lefty women," you have to
worry about. It's the strong-willed, determined,
ambitious, educated, "right-leaning" women -
that Mr Abbott and Co have kept - biding their time
on backbenches.
And there's quite a few of them.

cont'd ...

And believe me - it will be poetic justice!

Watch this space!
