Once again the Flute gets it down to the nitty gristle.
To paraphrase theBomber's luminary doorstop the other day -
"We will win the next election if we are ready for government and if our policies are appropriate"
Really makes him sound like a tough, street-smart battler for the underdog, no? Fair indication that he's swanning in a different lake these days. The ALP's betrayal (or is it defection?) is far harder to take than Howard's insane carnie geeks, but, it may just create enough space for a viable third party.
[Eh?]
Maybe it's time to start using this virtual 'single-party democracy' before we actually trade places with the Chinese. Maybe it's time to join the bloody Democratic Greens Party®. Merge the two little guys and swamp the new party with bums on seats. Aim for a million sign-ups, real paying, voting members who aren't necessarily loony hippies or desperate Nats, and who understand preselection. Rebadge 'Left' with something out of this millennia - 'family' No?
If union members paid just half the fees to the Party that they pay to Union arseWipes then the Union arseWipes would pay to join the Party. Before any ALP members are allowed to join, there must be a period of "truth and reconciliation". And a flogging.
[Whoa hip, you're a pacifist and they're cow's cocks]
OK, tell 'em to bring money, then.
Silly as this sounds, politics is fast becoming our last legal resort. I wish somebody would talk me into getting off my pointy bum and joining an after-blog 'Grog & Local Branch Meeting'. Maybe we could learn to blog it in.
[That's it, we're stuffed.]
I gotta stop telling people hippies aren't naive.
You don't have to fight for your rights, you do have to work at it, though. Volunteer before you're conscripted! Join a party in droves, chuck [vote] out the deadwood and don't rely on the MSM. Revolutionary ideas travel best from door to door. A people's party is just that, not a machine, just a choice for disaffected lefties who've strayed to the Greens, Democrats, One Nation. Most especially that large, very silent group of rural voters who know something's wrong, but the [toadly] barons like Dick Honan own the bloody shire and all who reign on her.
Now, blokes like Barnaby Joyce, sheesh - sorta shows how ready we are for a leader with a catchy phrase -
"Fuck off a minute, I'm thinking about my electorate".

Ah, don't rub it in, B.S. (I deluded myself into thinking that he was just lying doggo and would leap out of the wardrobe eventually.) I'm not so sure it's the ALP folding to Howard as it is Australian policy ceeding to U.S. policy. Getting elected means they're competing with each other to be the least offensive to the U.S. (The only thing new about this is the Ruy Lopez Opening that Cheney/Bush pulled off.) As you point out - Howard knows his opponent, every piece of him.
Crap, I'm at it, again.
Thanks fer dropping in, B.S. The trackback on Fluty's post was one of those 'a Bud too far' things, but cheers for making it worthwhile.
I have absolutely no idea what I sound like outside of my own head (it's like miming in front of a mirror ferchristsakes). The spelling is intentional, he said, and held it to the light . . .
Peace, mate.
hey BS. have you got rid of that 1898 OLDUN vc death trap.
toh, where have you been since May 05?
Not exactly on topic but reminded me of this.

My wife is Chinese. We're having issues with our Homeowner's Association, and she's happy that she thinks she's found the right person to bribe, and now she just needs to bribe him until we get what we want (architectural changes to shared property).
She explains to me, "This is how you do things in China. You find the person to bribe, then you bribe him, then things get done. In the USA, you don't know who to bribe!"
"Yes," I replied. "Here, you have to be pretty well-connected or wealthy to know who to bribe. It helps keep the plebes out of politics. We're much less democratic than China."
Arh thanks Chai, I couldn't ask for a better illustration.
New Plan: I'll just kick back and wait for my 4-year pre-election bribe. Costello should be alone and terrified in the dark by then. Maybe, if . . .
Vest, any sailor boy with experience and a 14" turret shouldn't ask a hippy that question. (I polish my .22 when no-one's looking.)
