It would be better if we got to vote on individual policies. Then there was a collaboration to believe those.
Anyway, eutopian daydreams apart. I will vote Liberals.
Purely because I feel one more them from them will build up the economy a bit more before a change of guard to say Labor to deliver some progressive ideas.
I wish there was a way to have a way to have the Liberals deliver Labour and some of the less extreme Greens policies. So they are not mismanaged financially.
Having said that. A reflection on the NBN suggests that would not work either.
Hmm.
...and that is the kind of thinking that gave us a plebiscite to enact marriage equality. Something that should have been a no question matter of equality a long time ago. Do you really think we need to go through that kind of process for everything? Or even a small core policy grouping?
As for the economy...that better/worse argument is outdated. We need look no further than the dramatic slide that has taken place over the last couple of years under the leadership of the apparently responsible party. Both the main parties are guided by essentially the same advisors on these issues and the division tends to be about a collective vs individual value system. People who claim otherwise tend to just have trouble say "I'm selfish and want what's mine..."
Also consider that we may be facing the total annihilation of the modern way of life and might be able to turn that around by using some progressive ideas. I'm not saying either major side of Australian politics has the answer but unless you want "a sunburnt country" to be a nostalgic call back to cooler times it is perhaps good time to consider the importance of progressive environmental and social ideas rather than saving money and torturing refugees.
