I do have to laugh at times. This forum is full of people who can't see the good in the other side.

I always wonder why that is. Maybe they are all like me. I am a Conservative by birth as you might say. My dad drilled it into me as a kid that I should never, under any circumstances, vote for Labour. As a kid I didn't ask questions, he was my dad and what he said was law. I'm afraid I have never been able to quite bring myself to go against him but I do see the good in the other side and I have come close once or twice.

Two of my favorite Australian politicians were Labour, one was Bob Hawke and the other was Don Dunston.

Well at the risk of pi$$ing you off I have to ask; When are you going to be your own person Rosie.

I think I am because I know my failings and I swore blind I would not make the same mistake my dad did. I have one offspring who leans towards Labour and one who leans towards the Consevatives, they were both left to make their own minds up.

Queensland election 2015: Labor's Ashgrove candidate Kate Jones could re-write history

Fri 30 Jan 2015, 4:33pm

Labor candidate Kate Jones could re-write history on Saturday if she unseats Premier Campbell Newman in Ashgrove.

Never has a Queensland premier lost their seat and the party won power.

If recent polls are correct, Ms Jones has a comfortable eight percentage point lead over the Premier and is on track to regain the seat she held for two terms.

She has run an almost opposite campaign to Mr Newman under the banner "Team Kate".

It is low-key and grassroots compared to Mr Newman's strategy to focus on fiscal "reform" and pork-barrelling

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-01-30/labors-ashgrove-candidate--kate-jones-coul...

... so I'm calling a narrow win to the LNP - with Mr "No Can Do" getting his well deserved
- John Howard style - "tar and feathering"

I DON'T see the LNP parachuting him into ANOTHER safe seat with a by-election

He became their GREATEST liability

At this stage I'm sticking with my dad but you never know, Labour may come up with another leader like Bob and then I could change my mind.

I can't change my mind unless I have good reason to.

I've met a few politicians over the years and I must admit it's the ones with what I call charisma that I like the best. It must be the female coming out in me.

At this stage neither Tony Abbott nor Bill Shorten have got what it takes to inspire me.

If you have only ever voted for one party you are one eyed. I have voted for all major parties plus some.

WTF

. Not one of the smartest posts I've seen. But that is no surprise.

We are talking about a state parliament with a total of 87 seats and Labor only holding 7 of them. Of course when the LNP do worse than expected you can guarantee to hear the chorus of "It was fought on state issues"

Going from a 79 seat majority to potential of a hung parliament is an endorsement for Tony Abbott? Ok.

I thought there were. Sure there's lots of name calling but there's also lots of exchanging of ideas. Don't tell me you haven't noticed. And whats it matter to you anyways. Forgive me but just because you may recognise that your dad drummed into you to vote in the way he liked doesn't mean that you have escaped his dictates about how you vote and how you think about politics. It seems to me like your still making excuses for "coincidentally" voting the way he would approve. Don't get me wrong. I don't vote because i don't believe that the system works to benefit the 99% anymore. It's just there to make us believe that we have a democracy. But if I was in Qld and tempted to vote it would be to get Newman out and at least delay the controlling elite's plan to steal your state owned assets for themselves. See you should have worked that out for yourself but because your justifying voting the way your dad did 50 years ago (when the politics was different) your missing a lot of whats going on. Your all growd up now. Be yourself.
