Title: Re: Time for an alternative Post by pansi1951 on Aug 26th, 2010 at 12:32pm What people? I'm sure all the parties we currently have would profess they're for the people. We're a diverse bunch of people, we all want different things. Go for it mellie. How about The Imbeciles Party. You can be the leader. |

I'm going to be daring and say Pauline Hanson had the right idea, was just well ahead of her time ...and perhaps too politically incorrect *blunt* in part, at a time when PC'ness was moving from civilised discussions & polite circles to mainstream society and board-room politics.
I admire this woman's passion, and her heart felt desire to do and say what she felt needed to be said, no holes barred. While the boys were bench-sniffing and skirting and flirting with semantics, she was telling it as it was, and still is. She was spot on, no one can deny this, and or in my opinion, refer to her as being racist. She was protectionist, not racist. Pity, so many of us cant seem to be able to tell the difference between the two. Despite Lathams lunatic media ambush, (as a cub-reporter) when he asked Abbott if he felt he was responsible for Pauline Hanson having gone to jail, Pauline maintains she would support Tony's policies over Julia Gillards ...I think this in itself is a wake-up call with respects to what Labor have planned for Australia. The woman was honest, and for this she was persecuted and called a racist. Big mistake! :(i |

Yeah....maybe. She was an ethnic separatist, not racist. mellie wrote on Aug 26th, 2010 at 1:17pm:
Pauline Hanson didn't say very nice things about Asians. She was an ethnic separatist who believed that everybody else, that members of every other "race" were also ethnic separatists. Every cares about their own group, right? I have met people who think like that. Pauline Hanson believed that non-white, non-Anglo-Saxon and non-European immigrants and their families would naturally settle into ethnically concentrated communities -- ghettos. Don't get me wrong. I don't want to see ghettos either. People start thinking of themselves as different because of their language, hair and skin colour. People actually start thinking they belong to separate races. Pauline Hanson's logic was that if these people settled here they would bring their culture and habits here and allow them to be entrenched within their ghettos. Ok, fair enough, so we won't have ghettos then. We could try spreading people out more evenly. The government could pass laws encouraging a more even distribution of ethnic populations. But the neighbours would have to become more sociable. |

A nice thought, but it doesn't seem that the people really want a voice. They will pounce on every minor indiscretion a pollie makes, every sign of humanity is seen as a flaw or weakness, so to get elected, they have to distance themselves from what the people CLAIM to want - a human face. As long as 'political correctness' is around, you'll keep getting automatons for leaders.
