What bought this on??? Are you still confused? :shake:
This thread is about the election. You should take Comrade Gillard's advice and move forward.
Just like litle johnny, blair and bush on Iraq, Saddam kept em all in check bit now the terrorists are running the show. Iran, Pakistan and the entire iddle East is a time Bomb. Of course Saddam was okay whilst trading with the US, he made the mistake of selling oil out the back door.

Wayne, I know almost nothing about Sweden. If you could give us a synopsis of their situation, I'd much appreciate it.

spare me pal
They certainly have a different policy on inflationMaybe the Sex Party? At least they seem to promote individual's rights...
Here is the latest candidate. He's fixed ASF, he'll fix Australia for good.
We're all right behind Joe Blow for PM
Whatever you do don't mention bailing out little Johnny's brother Stan Howards' business. Or the fact that Al Downer Iraqi deals didn't turn into "a thing that battered" his career.
One could imagine they would actually encourage stagflation and hyperinflationThey certainly have a different policy on inflation:
I think any person who considers them self a socialist democrat (AKA Labor Party supporter) cannot by definition be objective. Social democracy flies in the face of human nature itself; it has never worked successfully as a system, ever, without the the influence of the capitalistic spirit to prop it up.
One need only look to any purportedly successful socialist state to see that it is the profit motive at the root of its success, AKA capitalism. Social democracy has always spoilt the work of the producers by elevating the non-producers. Social democracy has only ever placated the producers via political spin, warts and all "no-frills" analysis will always see socialist ideology on the outer
By any objective measure, this is counter-productive, ergo for social democrats, objectivity must be supplanted by ideology.
LOL the first couple of times i read your post i thought you were being to deep and meaningful for me to get my head around...then it slowly became clear that you think i cant be objective simply because i disagree with you.
I think anyone that thinks that a person having a leftist political view somehow excludes them from being able to think and see objectively, is probably missing a little objectivity themselves.
Other beings with other thoughts do not equate with the intelligence it seems.
Good one Gumby
I was dismissive of him too, until I heard him speaking a few days ago and quite changed my mind. I'd vote for him if he were in my area.In the winnable seat of Longman in Qld their candidate is a kid of 19 who is still wet behind the ears. He is not only young but he doesn't even look his age. He still has his adolescent pimples.
It's entirely likely that the Coalition would also support the internet filter.I still cannot see how any of the following groups of people could possibly think of voting for Labor.
+ Anyone who wants the full version of the internet, not China's.
If you mean employees of the Qld State government, then I don't see the logic there. Federal Labor is not the same thing.+ Government employees of QLD
Why? What is the basis for this objection?+ Anyone that has Superannuation
Wow, So cynical, that's a generous concession coming from you!and away from the personal...i though Tony did ok on the 7.30 report tonight, a couple of times he wanted to um and ah and even have a giggle, but stopped himself and actually sounded a little prime-ministerial...the only time he looked uncomfortable was when work no-choices was brought up.
Trainspotter, according to Smelly I am an idiot and you are deluded. Smelly Terror got his name at school by bullying deluded idiots like you and me. He liked the title so much that he kept it.
The Great Debate was a close-run contest, but in the end The Candidate I Support definitely defeated The Candidate I Dislike. They spoke to The Issues, where The Candidate I Support just waffled. There was some warmth there, some understanding, some wit – I liked the amusing crack The Candidate I Support made about The Candidate I Dislike: respectful but highlighting why it would be terrible for the country if The Candidate I Dislike were to win on August 21. The Candidate I Support looked serious, and spoke directly and plainly – where The Candidate I Dislike seemed rattled, scripted, unreal.
Both candidates understood what’s most important in this election: hysterical paranoia about the tiny number of people arriving by boat seeking refuge from persecution. I like the way The Candidate I Support is determined to stop this. The Candidate I Support also reassured me that the view I’d already adopted about the replacement of Kevin Rudd is entirely correct, which was nice. Where The Candidate I Dislike avoided answering the journalists’ questions, instead delivering lame talking points that wouldn’t persuade anyone, The Candidate I Support tackled them Prime Ministerially and gave me excellent reasons to vote for them.
In summary, I’m sure that The Debate helped many people who were thinking about voting for The Candidate I Dislike see through their shamefully negative and dishonest campaign, and converted them to our side.
Yup, a clear win for The Candidate I Support.
