Re: 2010 Elections
Neither of them as leaders but at some point a decision will have to be made about which party.
Perhaps the opposite in the Senate to what I vote for in the House of Reps. That might be the best way to limit the idiological wandering of either major party. Better than voting Green or for a minor party me thinks.

Re: 2010 Elections
Canberra Blouse dude
Canberra Blouse all the way.
Vote no to all of the above!
alp
libs/nats
greens
dems
None of the above gets my vote because the above stated are profit-focused (usually nepotistic that's the most important point IMVHO!) parasites that couldn't care less about you, me, ya mum, ya grandad, ya nan, ya friends or the country BEFORE THEMSELVES & THEIR INTERESTS!!!!!!!! Of course disregarding and stomping on your family that served in the Great War or WW2 for that matter etc..
if you happen to vote with characters like this on the ballot paper because seriously none of them care about you as an ordinary citizen going about your business paying your taxes-> $,&.*,+,^,%,@
That should make sense to the well-schooled, self-entitled & related[/B] well-versed inheritors of this great nation.
As the ASF member (can't think of it at present)from Tweed Heads would put it.
NONE OF THE ABOVE!

It's like trying to choose what to have for dinner when your options are poisoned gravel and broken glass coated in anthrax.

Re: 2010 Elections
Do that as a society and we would quickly be reduced to a dictatorship.
That just leaves not voting at all.

Re: 2010 Elections
Totally! Hit the nail on the head there Doctor.

If there is a fair dinkum non-feather nesting candidate, I'll compulsorily vote for him/her.
otherwise, nah
NOT INTERESTED!!!!

Re: 2010 Elections
I vote informal sometimes, just put a 1 or x in all the boxes...sometimes its the only thing i feel comfortable doing as occasionally i just have on confidence at all in the big 2, and due to 2 party preferred voting...any vote that's not Labor or Liberal simply ends up being one or the other so informal is then the only other genuine option.
Senate excepted of course.

Re: 2010 Elections
But voting for the leader means you are voting for the party too. Overall the opposition is the better pick with better ideology.

Re: 2010 Elections
Snake, I agree. IMO this poll would be better if it reflected the party rather than voting for the personality.
Unless in the electorate of one of the leaders, we vote for our local representatives, not the actual leader.
Leaders can be tipped out, so obviously the policies of the party are of more importance.
Although Abbot may not be a good alternative, I prefer the fiscal policies of the libs. Hopefully they can get their leadership issues sorted soon.

Re: 2010 Elections
I have now modified the poll to reflect this. I am assuming that most of the people who have already voted would probably have voted the same way whether it was the leader or the party listed.
However, given that this thread will probably become the main discussion thread for the 2010 federal election it is better that the poll was modified sooner rather than later.

The old saying that any government is as good as an opposition makes it is so true here, if Howard or Keating were opposition leaders they would eat this government, but what ever the result neither krud or abbot will be leaders of their parties this time next year

It's all un-democratic banter and semantics while ever we have a system wherby 1 or 2 'unrepresentative swill' in the Senate have final say?

We shall see what the '"Australian" people say at the next election.
I agree with IFocus.
You would still lose though.
