  3. IN or Out

    in Melbourne City

    Posted

    I'm mostly out as well. I'd prefer following a mediocre Melbourne Heart than a successful Melbourne city tbh. I might still come to a couple games but my enthusiasm won't be as nearly as high as when we were heart. If we had more fans, we could have created a Melbourne Heart in the lower Victorian leagues.

    So it turns out Gillard did not need to a deal with The Greens anymore,

    So she did not need a Carbon Tax either,

    Can someone again remind why The Greens exist?

    Left wing alternative to mainstream parties? Seems like a fairly legit reason to exist

    Very counter-productive in all honesty. All they do is steal focus, emphasis and votes from the only party with a philosophical basis in improving the lives of the working class.

    They are also a party of yuppies whose Chardonnay-socialist support base cares more about Tasmanian forests than public education, health or industrial relations. Perhaps some might argue that they are playing the long game by looking after the interests of the planet ie Climate Change etc. but this just reinforces the ideological chasm that exists between the conceptual foundations of the two left of centre parties, as such a fanatical devotion to environmental protection comes from the privileged bourgeois lefty-set who have the financial security to politically prioritise the needs of whales over working people. If you are living hand to mouth, can't afford to buy your kids school clothes and worried about how you are going to pay for your mother's hip surgery, the last thing on your mind is going to be picketing the felling of fucking Huon Pine in Tassie or how binding the new carbon targets are going to be at the next UNFCCC COP.

    A party of very self-centred individualists who have the means to prioritise issues that divert the macro-political discourse away from policy that would genuinely improve the opportunities of working people and safe-guard the advances the labour movement has provided over the last 150 years in this country from those that would seek to take them all.

    FUCK THE GREENS.

    Solidarity.

    thats my biggest problem with The Greens, not enough unionism and working class movements. But they are the only ones who don't want to cut single parent welfare. But TBF they do fight for public school funding and refugees. Used to be a Labor supporter, but the Labor-Right are screwing the party up with centrist and regressive politics. Maybe one day they'll broaden their ideology to include the base of the left movement.

    carbon tax was pushed by the Independents...(there's only 1 green in HOR) and The Greens hold the balance of power in the Senate :)

    Abbot is the most laughable LibTard, Pyne is deffo up there as well

    What is a LibTard? :droy:

    And being Laughable beats being a Liar every time - Hence the Lib's 12 point lead in the polls.

    bit like Abbot lying about the anti Hanson slush fund
