Seems the latest polls say people are turning away from labor and the libs, and turning to the greens?
Is the average voter in this country so politically uneducated that they think the greens are the political middle ground rather than the far left? Or do people really want to go ever further to the left then Kev and todays labor?
For a long time there was not a hell of a lot of difference between labor and liberals/nationals, so there was not much room in the middle, and this saw the demise of the democrats as they were seen to be irrelivant. Now that Kev has shown his socialist side and moved way to the left, there must be room for a party in the middle now?
So, what's going on? If people are upset with some of Kevs crazy schemes, then the greens are surely a lot crazier.
Why do so many inner city types vote greens? Surely they are some of the highest educated and highest paid people in the land. In the 2007 federal election, inner city Sydney and Melbourne recorded over 20% primary votes for the greens. So why do they vote greens? Is it just trendy? I've even seen otherwise intelligent people on here say they vote green. Do people really understand green policies?
I can't say I know a green voter personally. The 2007 federal election saw the greens score 3% in my electorate of New England and even labor got just 10%. I'd guess both labor and the greens would get a lot less at the next election from what I'm seeing now.
See ya's.
