Let's say the US endorses a World Parliament and everyone but China and Russia falls in line. Would love to see how they take power from China/Russia. Perhaps impose a trade embargo? But then Europe will fall overnight due to lack of gas from Russia.
Have you ever wondered how Bob Brown got elected

Seeing your first preference was an irrelevant vote, what was your second preference?
Still think you got a "democratic choice" that was neither ALP nor Coalition?
I think the CSG issue will see a bit of a swing to the Greens as Farmers vote against the coalition... I wouldnt be surprised if we see Bob become PM
I honestly can't remember how I directed my preferences.
Compulsory voting is a whole separate issue...
by voting below the line?
yes yes, been preaching for years to all the ignoramii out there who still dont listen.
me, personally, i'm unenrolled to vote. red or blue, it's the same bullsheet.
Ideo:
...but interesting idle musings, thanks for going to trouble of posting them.
Deltaberry:
Even more...
I'm reasonably certain Bob is of an Idealist temperament, an attentive Idealist, mostly likely the Diplomatic Contender.."hold one's ground, hang onto one's position, stick to one's intention, tend to one's business, stay the course, in a word, be tenacious". With great strength of conviction and enduring devotion to [----] cause(s).
Also the most visionary, most imaginative of the Idealists.

This really scares me.
What part scares you Dan and nan?
The part that people may have a different political persuasion that doesn't directly align with their own?
Just about everything scares right wing conservatives. Except Fred Nile and the Shooters party. Oh...and redneck National QLDers. 
Bob Brown's support for a world parliament
Brown does believe (as do I) that at a later stage, a world parliament could have significant powers
If we had a global parliament that could help to establish global banks regulations, such problems could be solved.
I guess these are the real reasons behind carbon tax, not a genuine fear for the environment.
OO doesn't this idea of one controlling global body concern you at all?
No.
But then I'm also not worried about those other crackpot new work order conspiracies.
Thanks for clarifying, I wasn't sure what it was that was so scary for you.
Dan and nan, it's the first I've ever read about a 'Global Parliament', I haven't had enough time available to learn about it, the people involved, the concept behind the statement/idea...I'm not a person that scares or carries fear, but I do try to understand 'things/life/people/stuff' better before deciding ...on this specifically, I just don't have enough info to make a sound judgment or even give an opinion.
It would be great to hear Bob expound upon the reasoning behind it, and also it would be great to hear a knowledgeable, informed opposition for cons against it...thanks again to Ideo, food for thought! Logical and practical food for thought.
Just on Bob Brown, I don't harbor the disdain for him that some people seem to have, I think he is an interesting and intelligent man, has some good ideas, and also maybe, some not so useful...I don't have fear or hatred toward him at all. Just my nature, I don't have fear, I don't tend to hate people. But I was interested why you were fearful. You have explained. And thanks.
I thought I might have been leaving myself open for ridicule from my post. It is exactly the fear of the unknown. Perhaps if I educated myself more then I would find there is nothing to fear.
I am not one for conspiracy theories however I did watch zeitgeist recently. Even though alot of it I already knew, I didn't know how the money system worked and it is an eye opener. The people making those videos would have an agenda as well.
I have been reading some of your posts, you certainly get yourself informed before posting, unlike me. I like to shoot my mouth off then regret it later. I dont hate BB either, I am not sure whether I like him though. We do tend to form opinions of these public figures without really knowing them, just their image. Hate is something we can do with less thats for sure.
By the way it is Dan on here, Nan just gets the summarised somersoft adventure story. The knowledge base on here is wonderful, I have learnt a great deal since joining.

As opposed to the dole bludgers and lazy whinging union members who support the Labor party...?
Good stuff Dan...life is never dull eh. Always something or other going on!
Might be a good time for Mr Brown to play the power game,as Miss Gillard has not done what she said she would do again,As opposed to the dole bludgers and lazy whinging union members who support the Labor party...?
,and several Unions in Qld don't agree with what Labor has done in Qld,early March it will be all over..
