Isn't that what you meant as your first post? It would have saved all of the beating around the bush.

Foxy, why don't you copy the link address from the target page and
just copy it in to your post ?
For long ones use Tiny url.

leoj,

I'm responsible for what I say, not for how
you interpret it.

This discussion is not about the Greens.

You need to get over your obvious obsession with that
party.

Dear Bazz,

I guess I do what I'm comfortable with.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Now back to the topic.

It will be interesting to see what happens at the next
election. Ultimately voters will decide the outcomes.
Ultimately for the parties this means communicating
the values that motivate a party's political
approach to the issues of the day, and convincing
voters this will improve their lot and improve the
fortunes of those they care about. It also means
showing what this will do for the nation.

Foxy,

You introduced Greens policy and I quoted you, here,

A cunning stunt to be sure, to have posters beating about the bush for 7 pages with you trying to lead them by the nose, only to finally be obliged to throw the parcel in the back door (reminiscent somehow of Greens) to magically reveal what the thread is all about, which is spruiking Greens 'policy'.

So that is what it was all about, all of that 'Oh my goodness those two MAJOR parties' and the other tosh.

Obviously it is far too much to expect of you that you might address the comments posters have already put forward. Although you could start with the many valid criticisms of proportional representation where the Senate is a prime example. Proportional is Greens 'policy', isn't it?

Here is another link that may be of interest:

It also lists the advantages. There's also more on the
web for those interested in keeping this discussion
going.
