As do I.

Voted accordingly.

Labor's blatant feminist agenda is but one of the things that's turned me off them.

But, it can so easily be argued that ideologies have their rightful place as political representations, even if at odds with the deterministic demon that we know of as democracy.

What I'm trying to say is that a 'natural' course of events is one that will favor women over men and dictatorship over democracy. That is, of course, unless there is a God.

The whole argument was over some saying that since it was a 'women only' seat it should go to a woman again - I personally follow the policy of best person - regardless of gender - but obviously some do not - hence the argument at all.

The issue is - should there be a mandated number of women only seats - as Labor so obviously demand at this time - and when the actual voted goes the other way - should that will of the voters be overturned to favour policy?

What, my bruvvas and sis

tahs - IS democracy?
