The Greens' primary vote fell a percentage point to 11 per cent, which gives the Coalition an election-winning two-party-preferred lead of 56 per cent to 44 per cent.

Just like one nation they will be nothing more than a punch line to a bad joke.

Youd have to be very concerned as a Greens supporter if in the best circumstances in all of political history (labor losing 8+% of its primary vote) they cannot pick up a single vote. In face it appears that they too have lost votes. Just imagine in about 10 yeras time when labor is polling well again. Where do you think the votes are coming from? THE GREENS.

I was thinking of the Democrats. I haven't heard much about them since Natasha Stott Despoja gave up the leadership.

It's all Kevin Rudd's fault. He proposed far-fetched policies and now look what's happened. It's like a huge bubble bursting. It's like the collapse of Lehman Brothers. People realised there were problems brewing underneath unseen by the general public. His ideas were so fantastic they could never have been implemented. Behind closed doors was bullying and harassment. His management style was destructive and damaging to the people he led.

But ........ oh well, it isn't actually so bad for Labor. Two terms isn't that bad. Time flies. The Coalition got three terms from 1996 to 2007. Or ..... was it four? Oh yeah it was four. Darn. Disappointing.

How dare you desecrate and deface Tony Abbott's picture and make him look like Adolf Hitler. Tony Abbott is an idiot but he doesn't deserve to be demonised and compared to the Patriarch of the Nazis. Angry
