Yuyutsu - Quote "is this supposed to be kind of a threat?"

What are you smoking, I don't know how anyone could arrive at that conclusion from my original post, which was Quote "The 2 big parties will not like it they do not want independents or minor parties."

Dear Philip,

I am glad this is not the case.

Your single sentence appeared on its own, immediately following my previous suggestion to dump the two big parties. That they wouldn't like it is obvious as the sun at midday, so as we rarely find someone posting here a short message like "Wow, I have 5 fingers in my hand", it made me wonder what urged you to write that which is so obvious to all. One possible interpretation, which I'm happy to see discarded, could be "if you continue writing such things that the regime doesn't like, you might soon find yourself beaten up in a dark cell". In many countries that would be commonplace.

When an inward thinking negative, arch conservative party supporter, with no new ideas like Shadow Minister finds it necessary to warn against a vote for a progressive party like The Greens, one should take a closer look at Greens policies before passing judgement.
A vote for one issue parties and independents is generally a wasted vote. However there are exceptions like Nick Xenophon, Andrew Wilkie or even the conservative Bob Katter, have proved to be worthwhile.
Those who rushed to vote for PUP last time around can see how voting for Big Clive was a total loss. as much value as voting for the likes of the No Parking Meters Party. or some such one issue drop kicks.

I read the greens "policies" but all I could find was a wishy washy list of populist aspirations, by a bunch of arch regressive socialists.

Greens open door refugee policy, we would be flooded as they would stop the navy turning them back.

Absolutely would never get my vote with that policy.

Where would they get the money to support them in the lifestyle they would expect, gee higher taxes.

Greens NO WAY!

Why do the left pervert language. The Greens are regressive leading us back to Sodom and Gomorrah. How anyone considers that 'progressive' defies belief.
