Dear Paul,

I may have written this previously - so I
apologise ahead of time if you've read it all
before. However, what Peter Costello wrote in
his memoirs years ago backs up the points that
you're making. Costello wrote:

"My eighteen years in Parliament - in Opposition and
in Government - have confirmed me in the conviction,
formed in my youth, that politics, for all its rough
edges, is a civilised and civilising calling. Despite
all the obloquy shovelled on the head of politicians,
they are men and women who work the machinery of our
liberal democratic way of life. They reflect public
opinion - and at their best lead public opinion - and
transmute it into laws that shape our society and our
country."

Of course there are unresolved problems that face us,
Problems that we must deal with to move forward as a
free, fair, and vibrant society. But, I agree with
Costello that I have no doubt that we can find the
solutions that suit us, provided as he points out,
that we do not succumb to the siren calls of demagogues,
charlatans and ideologues.

Corny Banana, is seeking members for his new Australian Conservative Party. With so many of the forums 'Usual Suspects' committed to the cause of conservatism. will they jump ship from the One Nutters and take solitude in the new far right party. Will they commit themselves to fight the evils of Bolshevism, Communism, Socialism, and all those other detestable ism's, or will they find the $25 joining fee too high a price to pay?

Come on Shadow and the rest of the motley crew, are you going to throw in with the new gang or what?

Is this the beginning of the end for Money Bags and his bunch of Liberal losers, or will they stick around to fight another day? Is the Mad Monk and his gang about to jump ship, and join with Corny? Where does Barnyard stand on all this? Interesting!

Could we witness a political marriage between Corny and the lovely Pauline, could they become Mister and Misses Banana in the mould of The Donald and Mrs Donald, Australia's very own first family? Mind boggling!

Plenty there for you to chew on Shadow, what do you think?

Paul,

Have you been sniffing your socks again?

Are you joining Disease Rhiannon's marxist party?
