running for the sake of running, would have to question why........i find it hard to believe anybody would vote than alone donate money

do they have policy documents that explain there position a little more than a one liner??

I wrote this in the other thread and thought it important enough to cut and paste here ...


Just remember they are working the senate to ticket. This means they only need a small amount of votes to get a member into the Senate (approx 10%) ... depending on the state they represnt and number of voters etc.  In other words they are.NOT contesting the Lower House and are thus not running for PM.

I say this largely due to the fact that you can vote these guys in the Senate and then still cast a vote for either one of the major parties in the Lower House.

Does this make sense to you guys and girls? It is something a LOT of voters don't understand and yet it os where our individual power lies. Just ask Pauline ...

Cheers

Both Simon Christie and John Roothy Rooth are both running .

that finishes it for me
With each vote get a free tyre gauge, and you cant use it without being pissed with the handbrake annoying you blah blah.... I get the feeling he isnt doing it for the "good" of 4wding, but for his magazine..

Do we need someone with the image of a drunkin hick who cant work on his car without a carton of piss representing us?

Well technically a senator can be PM

Yes the Senate has proportional voting, but like any other 'special interest' party that runs for the Senate I can't see them gaining enough votes to get a seat, especially since some of their policies are rather unpopular.

Since it's Simon Christie, he will only allow you to vote for him if you have a Landcruiser or a Patrol. The benefit is that you will get a free mag subscription to some hunting magazine, a free stubbie holder and a free knife.

Since it's Roothy, he will only allow you to vote for him if you have a nagging handbrake, drunk and are a yobbo.

Why are there so many Outdoor related parties??? Why not have the single party that can represent our interests with a stronger footing?

Sadly because not all the outdoor minorities want the same result...

[Brumbypt]

I was hoping that they all combined and are now in this party?.

The shooters party was a no good from day one..

The greens campaign at uni vertisities all the time, thats why there are so many young ppl at their potests, but sadly stand for a whole heap of things that will just ruin the country and not save it.


I am hoping that the recreation party will make a small difference and will atleast get a spokesman in the door.

Wonder if ComCar have a blue Hilux attached to a CIG Camper

WARNING - GROSS GENERALISATION - Young people are mostly left wing progressives anyway (certainly was when I was at uni), so the Greens have a captive audience in those environments hence the reason why they thrive there.  However once young people leave uni and start getting mortgages and see how much of their pay goes off in tax they tend to shift their views a bit - so it balances out eventually.

After all the damage the Greens have done in some areas I think they will eventually go the same way as the Democrats and disappear into the abyss in a decade or so.

LOL.   x 2
The other problem is politics always turn nice guys into tossers :-)   Why would they want to do that to themselves

[briann532]

Sounds great and I love their policy's, but where do their preferences lie and who will they sleep with to get what they want?

EVERYTHING comes at a price. What's the price?

Also where do they stand on education, hospitals, finance etc.

I like to vote for the BIG picture, although as I said I REALLY like there principles and direction.

Cheers

Until that time, they help cause damage   

It's why I'm a firm believer in making the voting age 30 (or 35). Prior to that, most (not all) have no life's experience in which to guage important decisions!

Let me see now, if I was to get into this, and start something, I could call it the Aboriberals, or the Demodiginous, or maybe the Laboriginals.  No, I would keep it simple, The Desert Real Party....vote for me or get speared....might work......
Isn't it good I take politics so serious.

I never used to take it seriously, but now Robert Mugabe is in for his 33rd year in a row and basically shoots you if you don't vote for him..........
I tend to take a bit more interest these days.

Politics is a dirty game, but one that needs constant monitoring......
