it wont let me quote directly from archives

quote:

There has already been a shift in the party. Basically what always happened was that the left was exclusive and dismissive, while the right said "yeah come to dinner! We love everyone!" This basically created a situation in which independent members would vote for right candidates because they felt a connection with them on a personal level, while they felt the left was aloof and elitist. Formally aligned factional ALP members number about 30% currently. Membership is actually starting to grow again with non-aligned independent branch members.

Just loving draw your own conclusions and if in 5 years I haven't got what I want I'll catch you at a Greens meeting.

Wasn't me, but I'll go so far as to say it felt that way to some extent, if a little unhinged.

The door has well and truly fallen off since he got in though, and now it's floating somewhere out in the pacific trash patch. I am bombarded by ads from him, physical and digital. It is insane. They are all insane.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Rich people who get into politics start out thinking they can buy popularity but as soon as they realise their horrible reactionary politics get attention it's a short road to complete madness. And sometimes total victory.

I guess he'll be found dead or on the dole by the end of the week.

The naruan government is a straight proxy right? We pay them to torture people at one remove so that when they tell the media and ngo's to gently caress off our government can say "nothing to do with us!"

Not really. It's all social interaction and play based learning. A solid early years and socialisation really is key to growing up a healthy and well adjusted adult. But sure, lets blame the government for brain washing kids. No more public education, thats just Communist Labor trying to indoctinate our youth. Did you know they teach about recycling and global warming AND evolution? Conspiracies!

This sounds like another American import bizarrely close to their argument against tertiary education or 'brainwashing factory' as the right-wing think tanks put it. Because of course, socialisation and education are threats to a right-wing worldview, that's why home schooling is so popular with them. Clearly Devine has given up on the TE front and is attempting to win the kindy wars.
