Title: Why I will vote liberal Post by the wise one on Sep 5th, 2013 at 6:27am
In just under 60 hours the polls will be close for the election. Voting will be done and dusted for another 3 years.
So tell everyone why you are voting for a liberal government. What will a liberal government do that a labor can't do. Is the liberal policy on the NBN better then the labor policy? Is the liberal policy on PPL better then the labor policy on the PPL? Do you think the liberal party will change the the NDIS or leave like it has been legislate? Is the Asylum Seekers policy of the liberal party better the the labor party policy? You can't be voting liberal because they say that they will bring the budget back into surplus, because Abbott has said that it will be 10 years before they can do it and there will be 3 elections before then. So why do you think that any of the liberal party policies are better the the labor party policies. Are you voting liberal because the polls are saying that the liberals will win and you like backing a winner and you not voting on their policy? |

Had the thread title been "Why I Won't Vote Liberal', I could have supplied an answer.
But, as I will never vote for this pathetic piece of shyt, Abbott and his far-right Liberal mob, I cannot give an answer. A true, centrist liberal (small-l) party would get my vote, but not these neo-fascists. Anyone but. I may just vote Green, knowing how much conservatives despise them. I have no sympathy for, or loyalty to, a conservative Australia. |

I can think of two things right away. Firstly, produce a surplus, because the Liberals have produced six of the biggest surpluses ever. Secondly, stop the boats, because they have done so once already - until Kevin747 came in. But hey, that doesn't matter because you won't change your vote no matter what. Oh well, your loss. |
Title: Re: Why I will vote liberal Post by the wise one on Sep 5th, 2013 at 6:49am
Kat, I started this thread for maqqa, longy, matty, cods and all the others that are saying that liberals will win.
I bet none of them will post and say why they are voting for the liberal party |

like I said in the opening post Abbott has said that he won't get a surplus for 10 years and there will be 3 election before then, so that is no reason Why do you want the boats stop? Does the asylum seekers affect you in anyway personally? If so how do they affect you? With your answer it just show that you don't think at all |

You're probably correct, WO. Either that, or they'll simply turn up to slag-off at anyone who doesn't embrace the 'New Order'. Honestly, I doubt they even know why they'll vote Liberal. The economy, boaties, Rudd's looks, the carbon tax non-lie etc are NOT valid reasons. Stripped of all rhetoric, I think it comes down to greed and selfishness ie wealthfare, and handouts for everyone BUT the genuinely needy. There is simply NO VALID REASON to vote Liberal. NOT ONE. But there are MANY REASONS NOT TO!! |

Don’t rely on major parties – vote Greens
Voters who still cling to the tribal belief that there remains significant ideological difference between the two old major parties of Australian politics should have their faith shaken by the fact that Bill Kelty, former ACTU secretary and classical ALP power-broker, has joined former prime minister and classical blue-ribbon small-l Liberal, Malcolm Fraser in endorsing Greens South Australian senator, Sarah Hanson-Young in her fight for her senate seat and maintenance of a Greens federal balance of power. As the Liberal Party lurches from its original foundations of liberal individual opportunity towards collective reactionary conservatism, and the Labor Party lurches from its progressive, social justice and workers’ rights roots towards desperate political right-wing populism and expediency, Kelty and Fraser have formed a unity ticket in their support of Greens policy on asylum seekers and refugees. Both are obviously adamant that neither old party has the integrity necessary to be granted a rubber-stamp majority in both houses of parliament. The old parties are unedifyingly conspiring to shut out the Greens and genuine independents in a direct act of betrayal to many of their grass-roots faithful. Murky and hypocritical preference deals are being done with obscure and extremist, single-issue micro-parties in what amount to a corruption of to the democratic process, and at potential great cost to Australia’s commitment to basic human rights protections, our most vulnerable and disadvantaged families and a liveable future on a sustainable planet, in a country with a clean energy economy. The Greens are standing up for these values, goals and principles which are truly the things that matter, for far longer than a three-year election cycle. Make no mistake – your vote and your values are powerful, for better or for worse. http://www.bendigoadvertiser.com.au/story/1754736/dont-rely-on-major-parties-vote-greens/?cs=79 When some here use history as part of their reasoning for voting Liberal, how can you when it's not the same party it was. Reactionary Conservatism is dangerous. |
Title: Re: Why I will vote liberal Post by RightSadFred on Sep 5th, 2013 at 7:20am
The main reason more people are voting Abbott is because he is not Rudd or Gillard who both have a poor track records, give Abbott some time in power and he might have one of his own.
Clearly anything the ALP has delivered has both been bungled and has never been born out in the polls even the NDIS. Also its the governments job to make its case not the voters, the whole premise of the thread is flawed, but look who started it, its not the ALP electing the voters. |

salad in
That is how I vote, in fact I voted liberal the first time in the NSW election. I vote backwards Greens last, the ALP second last because they stink like greens .... after that I just fill them out as I feel. In the last NSW state election there was only 3 candidates Lib/Lab?greens so I was forced into voting Liberal. |

Labor have the high ideals and aspire to great things.
However they can not do the basics , they wreck the economy and then we cant afford the great ideas and the promised Utopia. Labor actually need the Libs in power for ten years or so to earn the money that they can then blow on Disabled minority lesbian puppetry. I admit you just cant get enough Disabled minority lesbian puppetry. |
Title: Re: Why I will vote liberal Post by Sprintcyclist on Sep 5th, 2013 at 8:03am The Libs normally say what they believe will happen, not what people want to necessarily hear. The alp are the opposite. the alp sold the aust voters a fraud in Rudd, then in Gillard, then in Rudd again. the results show this. Abbott is a proven performer. He is discliplined physically and mentally and rides a bike. |

Its common sense, in business its called managing the customers expectations, do not over promise and under deliver...... Abbott was very clear to get that message with his small target politics. In all honesty, and yes in hindsight ....... I doubt anyone could come up with a better campaign strategy and other then the odd over blown daggy dad moment, Abbott has been the consummate professional, while Rudd has yet again shown us why his own party knifed him. |

cods That is a very pointed question, in the eyes of the ALP and outside elections the ALP has seen fit twice to sack its own leader it selected. Twice we have had a PM that got the job before facing the voters. The argument (which I supported) was that Rudd was best to take over and I thought Rudd would make the ALP competitive, but your question must be the main reason he has failed, he has come back with unclean hands that he is in denial about. I am sure Gillard will write a book about it, I am sure she knows a ,lot more about Rudd's handy work she is holding onto until after the election. |

Firstly, produce a surplus, because the Liberals have produced six of the biggest surpluses ever As stated the Liberals current position is no surplus in the next decade stated by Both Abbott and Hockey just a few days ago. All the BS the last years calling Labor poor economic managers on the basis of their inability to produce a surplus and to now openly state that they will do worse is a joke. A asking just who the poor economic managers are now give the Liberals as the result using their own criteria. They are promising a decade of increasing debt and borrowing while simultaneously committing to spending a mountain of money they don't have. Now that is a great plan for Australia. Putting Heckle Abbott and Jeckle Hockey in charge of treasury would be like signing them on to co-captain the Titanic. God save Australia. |

I saw this interview recently on "the Real News" (try it - you might find it more informative than the Telegraph) about why the right in the US hates so deeply (notice any similarities) and his reply was that in reality it was because they could not forgive America for electing a Black President. I don't know how much truth there is in that but since then I can't help wondering whether the right wing hates Rudd sooo deeply for saying sorry to the aboriginal peoples.

The Libs normally say what they believe will happen, not what people want to necessarily hear. Interest rates will always be lower under a coalition government (sure they will), children were thrown over board (no they weren't), Look at Abbott when the people wanted action on climate he was a supporter of an ETS Talking to industrialists it was at the same time all BS (what did they want to hear), When Labor wanted an ETS he wanted a carbon tax, He said that global warming was a political problem for the Liberals because people believe it: his direct action policy exists only because it is what people want to hear. His direct action policy - the worst of the lot but the only option he had left after ruling every other possibility out. Tony has nothing except what people want to hear, this is the case even when it is clear that he does not believe it himself and his position varies significantly dependant on who he is talking to and what they want to hear. Tony's beliefs are quite flexible. |

Apart from some good points others have put up, for voting Coalition, Labor cannot be trusted, EVER, to have the good of the country at heart. Behind the facade of apologies and heartarming policies like NDIS, is the deep and abiding ambition for as much control as possible.
We escaped a bullet with Capain RedPants Conroy, but if labor got back in, an attack on freedom of the Press/Speech would be high on the agenda. I'm happy to see the Libs, via Sen George Brandis will be very quickly on to this issue , should they be elected. |

If one was to be completely un-bias here is the facts on trust. You know you can not trust the ALP Your not sure if you can trust the LNP. This election is more about voting the ALP out (regardless who leads them) then voting the LNP in. Logically, the ALP have a dreadful track record even the ALP tries to runaway from, Abbott/Libs have played small target politics, politically the right strategy. |

They want to build an inferior nbn, they have less than positive views on homosexuality and their leader doesn't bring anything positive to the conversation. I won't preference the ALP first either - the big 2 get my 2nd last and last preferences (usually). I haven't worked out who I will preference 2nd/3rd/4th etc yet though. |
