A warning for LabourLite

The blood is flowing freely across the ditch in Oz.  Scotty from Marketing Liberals have been routed, independents are in en-masse and Albo the last man standing sneaks in as newly minted PM.

Some are really pissed.  Resident loud-mouth cockatoo Barnaby unleashes:

“So it’s almost a sense of, if you vote Labor you’ll vote and stick there, and we know you will because of party discipline. If you vote Nationals or Liberals you’ll vote and stick there. And then, ‘We have a right in the middle to go whichever way we want whenever we like.’ That is just so, so selfish.”

Seems the voters have had enough of fence sitters from the long-standing two party system.  They want real change and representation for their community, not career pollies looking after themselves in Canberra troughs.

In New Zealand, LabourLite would do well to heed this result.  Here we cannot distinguish between the separatist racists in the current government tossing democracy aside for rampant apartheid with copious servings of nepotism garnished with corruption and the new kid on the block, te reo Luxon.  The two parties are on the same fence, with the same offerings of zero change.
