I'm a member of the Swagman party.

Smiley

With a quorum of one?

Depends on how sober I am...

Coalition members are welcome......but they must be female.....that's my affirmative action policy Wink

what about sex appeal.. or a big bum?? I will not admit which one I have,, Wink

..

but I am thinking of joining a group.. I think we all need a tribe of sorts to belong too...we can butt heads to see whos the strongest and therefore the winner...

we can also dominate on the boards with cryptic abuse...

so sell yourself swagman... what are you priorities.?.

non rude ones..

Not me - although my Dad was a rampant Labor man in the 40s 50s etc. I describe myself as left leaning, but tend to vote for the guy i think will do the best job.

I just left Cairns and voted for good ol Warren Entsch - partly because that bloke really listens to the community. If I had of voted up here in Darwin, I probably would have voted for the Labor man

The two elections prior to this one I voted for Greg Hunt - in opposition for most of that time - but a good bloke in my electorate.

I can sum by saying their is usually a stand out candidate who will get my vote regardless of major party. If neck and neck though - I would vote Labor

I voted for Natasha Griggs, the local CLP member. The weird thing is that in both Solomon (Darwin and Palmerston) and Lingiari (the rest of the NT) there were swings against both incumbents, CLP and Labor respectively, but both held on about 51-49.

Im a member of the didyoubringthegrogalong party. I like it because they are a well grounded party whose roots stem back centuries, as it was formed as an official movement by the small but vocal crackatinny tribe in outback Queensland as an answer to finally being heard by the decision makers. You could call our coming into existence is a bit like the that of the union movement, but without the corruption and better parties.

try to remember pete when you vote for either albo or shorten...its a win for the Libs

Will you be able to vote in the Leadership wrangle Peter?

I would think that it would be for ALP members as at the date the leadership spilled otherwise the ballot could be stacked.

Billyboy might stack the vote with unionists and Albo with Rabbitoe supporters..... Grin

Yes I will. Rang today, the papers went out on Tuesday so should get mine tomorrow.

Go the Mighty Rabbits!

I thought that you could only vote if you were a member before the election?

While I can't vote in an election because you mean, lousy Aussies won't let me, even though I am affected by the result, at least I get to vote on the party leader.

How many others here are members of a political party?

C'mon, 'fess up.

Most people wouldn't know, but I am actually a member of the Liberal party.

So am I...I joined the SA Libs when the moderate Steven Marshall became the leader.
I suggest all South Aussies join so we can get rid of the useless state Labor govt as well as have a say in the party about hardline nutbags like Cory Bernardi.

Never have been a member of a political party and I don't intend to join any of them. As I cast my eye over the various parties I feel let down by the quality of those who make it to MP status. I regard them as low life petty criminals.

Take the average misbehaving MP for instance. He gets caught with his fingers in the till and his mates start airbrushing him or her with the usual encomiams. "He made an honest mistake", "the rules regarding T/A are unclear", "he is a very nice person once you get to know him"....all that sort of crap. The bloke is a phuking thief and a low life. Come out and say it rather than try to hide him behind a wall of cheap mitigating circumstances and lame excuses. Those who try to defend his actions are just as vile as the tortfeasor. Say it you bunch of vile turds: the bloke is a thief.

The ALP, the progressive party, the party of ideas, the workers' friend, is the only Australian political party to roast four young Australians in roof cavities. SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!
