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.

why did you join the ALP? serious question.

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

That's right, Matty. The Dunedin Branch.

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.

I thought that you may have joined the I'mafakeconservative party.

Do they have that in New Zealand?

Here in Australia, we have the right wing of the Labor Party.

Thoughts?

The North Ryde branch of the Greens will be disappointed.
Matty is breaking their rules by being a member of two parties.. tut tut Matty Tongue

Andrei, you really are a low type.

I am not, nor have I ever been a "nutcase". You are a liar.

Like many people I have suffered an illness which is under control.

You are far nuttier than I have ever been.

I've seen plenty of cases on the news where nutcases who had their issues. " under control" go off the rails.

Once a nutter always a nutter.

Nuttier am I? Sorry mate I have never needed medication to sort out a disorder.

Seems it's not under control if you decide to join a political partying a country in which you can't actually vote?

Sane behaviour? Cheesy

In truth, though, I don't think that many people would agree 100% with every policy of a party, even many politicians themselves. You see division all of the time in both major parties over policy. Not so common with the minor parties, because there are fewer of them, but even there, it happens from time to time.
