I can't understand why both simply won't be the Greens dead last in every seat in the country. They have proven themselves to be nothing but immature obstructionists who won't compromise at all. It all has to be their way or the highway. Yet Labor continues to preference them highly on their tickets, and the Coalition; while better, is in talks (at least in Victoria) of preference deals. Just put them dead last and do everything to make sure that they get as few seats as possible.

Absolutely.  The are a numpty party that can only be a player by attaching themselves like poo to asshair to either main parties.    They will never govern in their own right and will resort to blackmail and coercion of whichever party are foolish enough to consider an alliance with them

yes, then we and they can see just exactly what sort of support they have

yep ... that's what I'm going to do anyway

Yes.

Greens are the opposite to two party corruption.
Only the Greens desire to end political corruption via a national ICAC.

Greens, the alternative to corruption.

p.s.
major parties = major corruption parties

How many times must I tell you that I don't really care who wins after the Coalition turfed Abbott? Besides, I thought that you wanted the Coalition to win? You kept saying that you'd preference them over Labor if Turnbull became leader? Or was that just more hot air from you as usual?

Absolutely cods, and the Libs have shown themselves to be dodgy too, can't really trust any of the three can you.

The Greens are by far the worst, and all parties should follow the LDP's lead and put them dead last everywhere.

Why? I can't see why any non-Green voter would want to not preference the Greens last? They have shown themselves to be completely stubborn and uncompromising, at least the other parties will negotiate with one another to extents. The Greens have to have it all their own way or not at all.

No, Redneck, they do unspeakable things to each other in public toilets and such like. They're all leftards and child molesters, it really is appalling.

Mr Abbott will make a fine committee member, you'll see. Malcolm Turnbull is implementing all his policies, so it won't be a radical departure from the current status quo. He always did want to become our Roads and Infrastructure Opposition leader.

Mr Abbott will oppose for all Australians, no? Thank heavens the grown-ups will soon be in charge.

They are too difficult to work with, way too unbending. Since Bob Brown they've become a negative cocky mob who think their 10% of votes gives them a majority. I've been turned off by greens in recent years. The only alternative is to put them last unfortunately.

"Should the major parties put the Greens last?"

Yes, they lost their way too many years ago.

Quote:

We seen then do this to One Nation and destroyed the party.

To me this showed that Labor and the Liberals can combine at any time to remove any potential opposition to their strangle hold on Australian politics.

I do not believe that this is a reasonable power for them to hold or to be able to unleash on an opponent.

Hanson is a stand out example of how the Libs will manipulate the Law and the schmedia to destroy a political opponent.

Oh dear no its not Assie...
Firstly the ALP lied about Hanson and attacked her in order to try and make the Libs bad.
They kept this up non stop for years and lied about her and her party.
Then when PHON was a threat to votes to the Libs and other smaller parties they all worked against PHON and put them last.
When that didn't work the QLD Labor Party arrested Hanson and Ettridge and put them in gaol, the AEC took their money and the court cases bled the party dry Australia wide.

The Queensland Government in the article was an ALP one.  Oh dear made a goose of yourself yet again.
And yes everything else I said was totally factual.
As for Abbott and the "Australians for Honest politics" and Sharples etc...  none were dragged into court and charged with anything .  So even though we know they existed and that Abbott was a ratbag and a fool using a dissatisfied ex member to create government and electoral commission interest in a case against hanson etc, they were never charged with anything. involved.

so you can't find any evidence goose?


you really should stop wasting everyone's time.

Both parties did the dirty on Pauline. She was a threat to both, but especially the Coalition (and more specifically the Nationals than the Liberals). I remember reading that about 70% of her support base came from previously rusted on Coalition voters, and 30% from previously rusted on Labor voters. Even today, I know of people who would never voter Labor but would vote for her, and people who would never vote Coalition but would vote for her. Ideologically she is probably halfway between centre right and far right (which is where I place myself) but really she transcends labels because she isn't afraid to speak her mind and her message resonates with many Australians regardless of where they are on the left to right spectrum. They both knew this and that is why they preferenced her last in 1998 and subsequently. That she won 36% of the primary vote and the Libs won the seat with 21% (all thanks to the Nats and Labor) is a disgrace. I would love to see her win a a seat this election. With the reduced quota she stands a great chance.

Which state will you be voting in, Matty? Where will you preference the Greens?
