Democrats to give prefs to Family First Party (1 Viewer)

[patlaw]

The Democrats have chosen to give their Senate preferences to The Family First Party. This party is a far-right wing Christian Party who are extremely against same-sex marriages, support corporal punishment of children (i.e. the whip) and oppose abortions. I won't get into my vies on these policies but as a whole i reckon they're pretty conservative and anti-progressive if u ask me!

What do you reckon is wrong with this and do u think the Democrats will lose votes as a result of it?

 

[Kwayera]

In a word, yep.

Because Aussies in general are too laid-back to support such a stupid-ass fucked up party as that.

 

[Kwayera]

The democrats supported your GST...


and why are the democrats 'fucked up'...is anything you say based on anything or do your perscribe to the tully method of arguing by throwing insults at people

Actually, I was referring the the 'Family First Party' section of the equation.

Says it all, really.

abbot and anderson liberal front benchers are oposed to same sex marriage and abortion...

the majority of the front bench of the liberal government could be characterised as right wing christians...

Abbot and anderson come to mind

*shrug* I have to deal with people like that every day. Doesn't divert me from my business (and it's not as if they're doing much to totally ban same-sex marraiges and abortion, are they?).

 

[Kwayera]

yes *shrug*...the family first party are 'fuckwits' because you dont like their policy...the front bench of the liberal party personally support their policy...but you love them...

hmmmm :\

There you go, making idiotic assumptions again.

I don't like the party (and why are you quoting 'fuckwits' when I did not actually say 'fuckwits'?) because of that policy.

The 'front bench of the liberal party', being two members (in your theory, I suppose) support SOME of the FFP's policy PERSONALLY but it's not in the Liberal policy, last time I checked.

Hmmmm, indeed.

libs banned same sex marriages, but must i remind you that the ALP agreed?

 

[Kwayera]

its kyweras gripe with the family party

It'd be nice if you afforded me the courtesy of spelling my name right; and yes, that is my gripe.

 

[tWiStEdD]

i'm just reminding you, so you dont get onto ur soapbox and tell us all how horrible it is that they banned them. good on them, IMHO. it might not be in line with the rule of law but it is in line with natural law right now.

 

[Kwayera]

can you stop arguing by making personal insults...:\

Once again, pot calling kettle black!

Or have you forgotten what you said to me a few weeks ago?


And I see no 'personal insult' there. A critique on what you have to say, but no 'personal insult'.

Natural law? Pray tell, what is 'natural law'?

Asquithian, do support this Family First party? Donesnt say in any of your posts that you do/dont.

Me, I don't think religion should be afflilated with politics and I also hate extremem left/right winged parties. So I'm definatley against this 'far-right wing Christian Party'

Agreed. Religion has no place in government.

 

[tWiStEdD]

Ahh. Big A should be able to explain that better than i can, sorry little K.
I tried to define it for ya, but i've forgotten a lot of the preliminary Legal course

 

[tWiStEdD]

you cant say to a certainty that religion influences the Libs decisions.

 

[Kwayera]

andyou vote liberal...funny :\

Their policy (or non-policy) regarding religion doesn't colour my affiliation. It's everything else.

 

[tWiStEdD]

heh.
yes, that's politics.
they'll (they being all politicians) appeal to all demographics, religious groups, sporting teams, lobby groups, interest groups in an attempt to gain votes.

[tWiStEdD]

you'll find i'm right more often than not

 

[Kwayera]

Haha, that remains to be proven
