Why do the same 2 political parties always get in?

Why do the same political parties always get in? I think there's a few that would cause a revolution. ie: future party, wikileaks or perhaps one nation. What do you think, that would put a spanner in the works, would it not?  Who should we give a go to?

Apart from the Labor or Lib members, the list you have there is mostly made up of ex trolley boys working their way to being in one of the two major parties.  You have to start somewhere working 80 hours a week for next to no pay in the hope that you will have a nice little cushy job to fall back on when you hit your sixties.

 

Julian Assange is ok.  Once he steps foot in Australia again people will be falling over themselves to get him on TV or in government.  Can't wait Smiley Very Happy

Spot, just be careful that doesn't line you up as a candidate for the Single Parents' Party, via the Rise Up Australia Party.

Don't worry spot, if you vote for the sex party that rise up australia party would come in second which of course would form a coalition "sex and rise up".  This new political party would make Australians more happy. 😉

Because they're the only 2 that are publicly funded. The others are largely funded by their members and sponsors hence don't have as big an election budget.

one does as their masters tell them. this is rewarded with favourable press even if undeserved. the other has some credibility despite the media arm of the other saying it hasn't.

They are the major parties, The greens are useless, People are brainwashed into being scared of independents and minor parties.

The sex party needs to firm up to get in. Smiley Wink
