Which will you be voting for in the upcoming election?

Howard's Liberals?
Latham's Labor?
Browns Greens?
The Democrats?
The Shooters Party?
The Let's have a party?

I don't care about politics as in Hungary both major parties have done bad things to the country so even though now I could I wouldn't go to vote.

Stratos · 08-29-2004, 03:49 PM

None of these as I'm not an Aussie.

I don't mind a good party, though...

If I could vote, it would be for John Howard. I just dont see Mark Latham as bieng a good Prime Minister, and I also know that in the past, all the Labor governments have failed in this country.
I wouldnt bother wiht the other parties because I honestly dont think that they have a chance.

Interesting isn't it? Labor have great social programs, but never have the money to implement them. The country routinely suck when they're running the show. I'll never forget the improvement once Liberal got in again under Howard. "Back to business".

I don't know enough about the Australian parties and politics to vote (if I could). It would help if you provided some information on each party's political spectrum. I only know that the Liberals under John Howard are Conservative.

I don't think you could sum up in a couple of paragraphs the intricacies of each party's ideals and policies... you would probably be better to go do some research yourself, Gab [img]smile.gif[/img]

I really hate the campaign. I get irritated when you hear people saying, 'oh I don't know who I'll vote for I haven't been following politics' - it's all there! Every day! Just look! But I know what they're about, so I find all the mudraking and one-upmanship really tiresome. And I'm finding Mr Howard more repulsive everyday. Actually I think Labour should stop with the 'a vote for Howard is a vote for Costello' bizzo - I'd welcome Costello!

LOL Aelia

A Costello Government would be a lot better than a Howard (lying Rat) one. He is a liberal in the truer sense of the word and a republican [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] As long as he doesn’t give the devil incarnate Tony Abbot a job.

Labour for me in the lower house, Latham seems more of an older style labour man than flash suits Keating (though hasn’t politics been boring without him). I miss the drinking Bob Hawke though. The upper house probably will see me vote green. I really like their drug policies and will do a very good job keeping the bastards honest.

Predication .. Howard by 3 seats
