Minority government is the superior outcome within the current model.

Those that are sick of their electorate being ignored, their issues being ignored, should be working for a hung parliament after the next election.

Those that oppose democracy should work against a hung parliament, and towards a dictatorship.

Which model do you support : Dictatorship or a Democratic Hung Parliament?

The Greens will be the first ones against the wall when the revolution comes.

Who will Australians give the balance of power to next time : Nick Xenophon, Bob Katter, or maybe to the Greens.

what a joke

Better than the ignorant minority within the Liberal Party.

i.e the neo cons.

The Church needs to take another brave fight against communists like John Paul II did...

you might want to ask your current pope (ohh, he's my pope as well.... damn) what he has to say about that ....

Quote:

“ideology of evil,” Pope John Paul II on Homosexuality

The message is pretty clear - this from the greatest anti communist warrior of the 20th century - I am not a Catholic btw, cant I admire the man for his principles and not be a catholic or something?

I'll go with the third and best option - a democratically elected government chosen by the people, not a bunch of neanderthal independents and a nutjob Greens leader.

Independents and Greens were and are democratically elected.

The only issue is that the neo cons haven't figured out how to operate within a hung parliament, so just sulk. The biggest losers are the nongs that voted for them ... another term without representation.

Ive got to say, that I see the greens becoming more mainstream every day.  They seem to have less focus on some of their nuttier policies.

Hung parliments are the way to go, if you want true accoutability.

The current system ignored me when I voted for 'there will be no carbon tax under a government I lead'.

This system of lying to gain power sux worse than the proper system.

It's not the system that let you down, it is the current leader of the Liberals. He should of won the last election yet grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory.

We now have a price on carbon because Abbott held the Liberals back.

Don't blame the hung parliament for Abbott's inability.

I used to swing but am not anymore. labor are dead to me.

(**coughs** humbly)  In my humble opinion, and based on my worldwide following of those with some degree of enlightenment - I would accept the mantle of Benevolent Diktator!  Tough work but someone has to do it!

And no Monica scandals either!  Keep it quiet!

what makes you think the current one is 'accountable'? in precisely what area are they accountable? Horse-trading with minorities is not accountability. Since they are chosen by the electors then they are accountable to US. with the Carbon tax and other policies we have one of the LEAST accountable govts in 30 years.

What accountability do voters have when a one party or coalition have complete control.

For example state Queensland.

Currently public servants are being removed so to make the government even less accountable.

To make Australians less likely to have to pay labor debt.

Labor's debt?

We were talking about transparency.

A dictatorship is less transparent than a minority government.
