Is it time for a new political party to replace labor?

[silverfaun]

After the fiasco of the last six years, the total failure of the Whitlam govt having to be sacked & the miasma of Hawke blundering drukenly through his tenure is it time for the Labor party to disappear just like the Democrats?

The never ending problem for the Liberal/ National parties having to do the hard yards trying to balance the books, pay down the debt, of a wastrel Labor party mentality leaving behind the bottom of the chook pen mess every single time they are in govt.

It's time a new party emerged, free of the criminal union stranglehold, a party that has no strings to be pulled, a party who has to stand on it's own two feet, a party who can hold it's own without the lunatic Greens having to sweep them into office with their preferences.

Labor has done nothing to redress the problems that saw them sacked by the people, they haven't looked at the entrenched apparatchik politiking that saw them wiped out, they will fail every time they are in power if they don't get some values other than power for it's own sake.

Is it time to sack all politicians and bring in a new different lot?

MOST DEFINITELY! or maybe all the back benchers could unite and form a new party.

Sounds like facism to me, though I could be wrong.

I believe we should get rid of everyone I disagree with.

Somebody  is trying to anger people and when they bite, report them.

Kind of like wanting  to get rid of political parties that do not share their views.

Gonski cost 20 million, not read by Pyne and dumped.

You neglected to specify honest, although in light of the characteristics stated, I'll take that as read.

However, as appealing as that thought may be, it's moot as the members of such a party wouldn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of being elected unless they resorted to the same dirty underhanded tricks employed by our current political parties. 😞

"Abbott kills off Holdens and spends taxpayer money on BMW's"

I wonder how many taxpayers realise that Abbott's new BMWs are costing in excess of $500,000 EACH ?!?

I think it's time to get off this stupid Lib/Lab see-saw and vote in  a party who has Austalia's national interests at heart.

Trouble is, where do you find one, and it would be nipped in the bud in no time by the global financiers unless it toed their bottom line.

Everything you just listed is a Labor legacy. Nothing whatsover to do with the current govt. As for Bishop angering China??? she was putting our national interst first, Historically we have always stood for freedom of the oceans, obviously you disagree.

You should take a look at all the land mines labor has left for the new gov t. & feel shame for the party you so desperately vote for.

here's an inane rusty LNP post. Election Now.!! hey SF didn't the PM say he'd hold a double dissolution election if he had a trigger ?

well he has his trigger, the senate blocked the carbon and mining tax repeals (ha) which is precisely the trigger he named.

So why isn't he going ? he's even breaking promises he made to You by piking out
