The state of Victoria is one of the most progressive
states in this country. Victorians overwhelmingly
endorsed a positive and optimistic plan for their
state by electing Labor. They rejected the "low
road of fear and division." Whether the rest of the
country will follow suit in May next year at the
federal election remains to be seen. Political
commentators are predicting that unless the Liberal
Party changes its outmoded political tactics - their
chances of winning the next election are pretty slim.
You need to remember that the party that Menzies
founded was not the party of today. It was a
"broad church." It was a "Liberal" party. Not a
right-wing conservative party. If the Liberal
party continues to "play" to the segment of its party
that is far to the right of the electorate, it will
not only alienate others (like Julia Banks - who's
left the party and many others who may follow) but it
will not only lose the election - it will crumble as
a party.
