Katter's policies are the same ones that crashed the US's economy. He wants banks to be forced to loan money to farmers (there's a shock, he's a country policician) and also wants banks to be forced to give loans to people who can't afford to buy a house because he wants to make it a right for everyone to own their own house. I don't actually see left wing Labor politicians promising things like this. It's insane. It'd destroy the economy.
Yeah. The ALP and The Greens did get an asskicking but your still ignoring the fact that the party that had the highest jump in voted had the most left wing economic platform of anyone.
What will destroy the economy is the idiotic carbon tax and mining tax. But come the next election such stupidity will be wiped out.
I might remind all you Liberals. The Liberal Party held three seats after the 2001 Queensland Election but today you have a massive majority. The left wing will go through the exact same processes and will eventually come back into power and if you think otherwise you are kidding yourselfs.
Yeah, because forcing banks to lower their loan criteria and force them to give loans to poor farmers and poor people who can't afford to own their own home will be great for the economy. Just ask the US!
I read just fine thanks, you on the other hand.... Oh by the way how did your commie green party fair in the election? oh their vote DROPPED? Really? How did the political left go? Oh they got SMASHED... Roll on the federal election so we can do the same.
Hey tank, the green vote DROPPED bud... No use trying to avoid it but going into things that have nothing to do with the issue at hand. THE GREENS VOTE DROPPED, THE POLITICAL LEFT GOT SMASHED.
Efjay sounds like these people I'm arguing with on facebook who are going on about how they vote Liberal because as an army family they want the military strong and the ALP always decreases military spending when they're in power. Never mind the fact that under Howard military spending dropped, thousands of military employees were laid off, etc and that since then, under the ALP, military spending has increases so much that we have tens of thousands more soldiers and our military budget is one of the higest in the world, something like 12th or 13th last time I heard.
again we see tank running from the real issue and trying to deflect onto other issues. Hey tank THE GREENS VOTE DROPPED, THE POLITICAL LEFT GOT AN ASSKICKING.
No, the issue is that you sound like a teenager who thinks they know everything and can't even vote themself. You have poor reading comprehension, poor spelling, etc. Your arguments are hard to follow as you forget what you were talking about half way through and then accuse others of sidetracking the issue when you've already taken it that way yourself.
The green vote dropped, the political left got an asskicking. The same will happen at the federal election.
If you knew what you were talking about you would know that QLD can't be used to predict what happens politically in other states and at the Federal level because QLD is the only state where a majority of people don't live in the capital city. The demographics of QLD are far different than any other state. I doubt you knew this.
The green vote dropped, the political left got an asskicking. The same will happen at the federal election.
Also QLD is the only state where preferncing isn't required otherwise this would have been a different election, it still would have been a massive LNP win but Greens preferences would have gotten Labor over the line in close electorates.
So parker is perfectly correct. Australian Party is not "right wing". What kind of moron thinks that raising import tariffs, re-nationalising industries and increasing subsidies is right wing??? Oh... just efjay, go figure. Subsidising ethanol (solution proposed by Al Gore, according to Australian Party), vs Market based ETS (proposed by John Howard). Which one is left wing and which one is right wing? Don't hurt your brain trying to figure that one out. If you've voted for the Australian Party because you believe it's "right wing" then you're quite simply an idiot.
oh so what has happened in the qld state election and the nsw election will have NO effect on the federal election...really how dopey are you???
