Quote:

the Greens in the South Australian Port Adelaide by-election to give a second preference to the communist candidate, The Bob Briton given 2nd preference on this how-to-vote is a Communist Party candidate, though because the party is unregistered in South Australia, he is listed as 'Independent Communist Australia'. Briton has been given 2nd preference ahead of Colin Thomas, a former Green candidate listed on the ballot paper as 'Independent Ban Live Animal Exports' who is given 3rd preference. (In South Australia independent candidates are permitted to have other words follow 'Independent' on the ballot paper. South Australia also puts sample how-to-votes on the voting partition, so all voters will see the above how-to-vote while filling in their ballot paper.)

Well well.  The proof is in the Watermelon http://www.anchoredbygrace.com/smileys/food19.gif.

Green on the outside, red in the middle.

Can't be true, greens_loser says so.

After the fiasco of actually electing an anti-semitic communist into the senate, who is surprised?

what the hell is an Independent Communist when its out there????

is someone making this up as they go along????


thats like saying you are Independent Liberal or Labor..


it doesnt work.

Good on the young Greens' candidate Justin McArthur.



At what's with all the fuss from the hard right ... One Nation is the only party representing your interests in the Port.

Hard Right Liberals are running scared.

It's a SA thing but has merit I reckon.

If Windsor & Oakshotte for example put their real allegiance on the ballot paper they would never have been elected... :(

The greens like to give these little nuggets of their true colours from time to time.

You are right but it was not long ago that the conservatives were claiming that Oakeshott and Windsor were meant to be National party independants?

Sounds a bit odd doesn't it....

My guess is that it someone who is a committed Communist but is standing in their own right rather than as a member of the Communist Party.  Which would make sense, as the Communist Party is not registered as a political party in South Australia.  So, in the unlikely event that they are elected, their position on issues would be consistent with Communist ideology but would not be tied to a party line.

Maybe he couldn't get a gurnsey with the Greens? ;D

Ok..I'll bite..whats wrong with the Greens preferencing a Communist?
After all we are giving all our land, resources and  manufacturing base to the Communists without the hardliners in the right even making a whimper about it.

Nothing is wrong with it. It is good to see the greens give us these nuggets of ideology.

So which part of the Political class do you think is less corrupted and discredited than the rest - they all lie lie lie as does the business and Corporate state media class.  You cant trust them. http://phumphries.com/forums/images/smilies/marlboro-man.gif
