How could a 1 party system be good?

With posters taking on the views of their favourite shock jock or blogger and salivating over the prospect of Labor being annihilated, for ever, why bother with future elections?

 

If there is only one party how is it possible to be a democracy?

What would be the use of future elections?

 

It all seems quite strange to me that people could be so gleeful about such a scenario.

 

Does anyone remember the bottom of the harbour schemes?

Rupe's tax refund almost seems reminiscent of those practices. Why do we adore him so much?  Why is it unacceptable to question his motives and morals?

Why are we longing for a return to those sorts of practices?  We would we long for a return to the days of no environmental controls and conditions?

 

Every day we're spammed with over emotional, vitriolic material on the potential wipe out of Labor and the Greens, by those rejoicing in the potential single party system.  

 

What benefit could there be, apart from saving money on elections, if there is only one political party in the country?

meep, if as far as you are concerned your information is correct is there really any point to keep going

 

 

 

I will rephrase that:  As far as I know, the information I have is accurate.

To give a closer look at the grand democracy taking place in North Korea, Japan’s NTV news had a man who once lived in the country reconstruct a typical voting booth scene. The instructions shown in the video are as follows:

 

  1. Enter the voting room and bow to the staff person as you receive a voting card.
  2. Your voting card will have Kim Jong-Il’s name printed on it. Old voting cards used to have ” [ ] Approve [ ] Disapprove” boxes one can select, but those cards were abolished in favor of the far more simple support cards.
  3. There is a red pen on a side table that you may use to change your voting card to an anti-Kim Jong-il vote. There is a member of the secret police monitoring you as you vote, so the mere act of glancing at the red pen could get you in trouble. If you want to live until the next election, ignore the red pen.
  4. To cast your vote, take your card and place it into the box. You must show your respect by bowing before the portraits of Kim Il-Sung and Kim Jong-il as you vote. Use both hands when placing the card in the box.

Everyone must vote. To keep the voter turnout percentage as high as possible, travel permits are heavily restricted in the month leading up to the election and those who are missing on election day may be officially declared dead.

I heard Kim Jong-un's popularity rating has plummeted to 150%.
