I do not rate someone whose integrity I doubt no matter what they look like.

Then your life is the poorer for it.

Nope, discerning character is a survival instinct, you dont allow people with poor character the opportunity to fleece you.

I think yuo could teach many a self-absorbed narcissist a few new tricks. Would it not be wrong to say that in a war, you would choose the side that would make you the most money?

Primary might be up, but seats like old mate Bandts will be in trouble because I dont see the Libs giving them preferences again for a while.

Thats gonna hurt them.

In seats where Greens are preferencing ALP and vice-versa you are going to have voters giving votes to the LIBs because of the carbon tax

Unless the carbon levy is irrelevant by the time of the election.

i.e Turnbull, leader of the coalition.

no one is consideriung the Greens in the question of the repeal. No one in parliament or the community thinks that the Greens would ever act in a way that represents the majority opinion of australias. They have always voted on their own policies and their own beliefs regardless of anyone elses expresses wishes. they NEVER vote altruistically. They always vote for their own agenda. the ALP however dows have men and women of consience who have mutlitple times in the past voted against their policy beliefs for the greater good or to uphold a clear mandate.

the question is now if the ALP will honour that mandate over the CT.

No one ever expects ethical behaviour from the Greens.

Once again you show you have absolutely no idea of ethics or principles. Not surprising in that moral wasteland you call a mind.

a better poster than you would actully clearly explain about 'ethics and principles'. Care to try and articulate what you mean? If not I will just assume that you disagree with me simply because I said it, not because you actually understand it.
