Politicians in this country act like theyre rulers not servants of the people/demographic, politicians that follow the party line instead of the wants of their constituency are betraying those they lied to at election time. f*** the lot of them, as for me I am an increasingly single issue voter, therefore I vote SFFP and LibDems, also helps that I have family and friends running as candidates both fed and state for those parties.
Also have the unique insight into the Libs/Coalition as my mum used to be a Nationals State Senate back bencher.
cheers.
i've been voting for the minors for years . one nation , SFFP , katter . i don't agree with everything they do or say , it's more about shaking up the majors .
my pet hate is people who whinge and whine about it all., but don't vote to try to change it i've encouraged a lot of people i know to get off their ar$e and get involved , you'd be suprised at some of the cop out reasons i've heard why they don't vote
