So let's get this straight: according to the participants, we now have too much democracy in the Democrats, too much labour in Labor, and too many liberals in the Liberals. Thank God for the Greens, who at least are true to their name, even if they confuse matters by electing a leader called Brown.

The Nationals, of course, have always represented a sectional interest, despite the grand name.

Very funny... but all too true...
[/QUOTE]LOL Leonis. You gotta love those Greens!
