Maybe the ALP should read this, and realize the unions are not representative of the electorate.

After that fallacy and non sequitur peppered outburst CJ, you are obviously invested more emotively in your world view, than objectively. I won't waste my time with you. Your view is the familiar generic stereotype of the exuberant dilettante , lacking historical or sociocultural perspective...

I disagree. Hardcore communists just woke up that they can't bash others into alignment with their world view. They realized the Communist 'brand' had been tarnished, and needed to be rebranded into something more palatable and less nefarious to Jenny mainstream journalist and Joe Public. I...

Let's keep in mind the US and UK public outsourced regulation of the banking system to government. The US public also outsourced regulation of credit to a government agency. GFC was the result of regulatory failure. The public and commercial world thought the govt monitored this stuff...

Years ago, she wanted Melbourne to be a sister city with Leningrad (now St Petersburg) and to vaporize ANZUS. Nothing pink about Julia. She's no longer 'under' the bed. But don't count on the mainstream media to stir the pot.....yet.

I like that list Andrew. Watch out for the Redhead..... She is as hardcore communist as they come.....and has outright lied about it time and again. A Super (personal) wealth tax is one of her Holy Grails. THough I'll bet she will make concessions for Labor voting miners on 150k+.

What role will Rudd have in Guillard's cabinet?

Despite all, I doubt most left voters understand what is driving this. I think the chance of Guillard winning the election are nil. The Coalition could pit Pauline Hanson against her and win.
