I've voted differently over the past two elections. Voted for both labour and liberal. I've felt attacked both ways. I know that my issue but when I voted labour, I felt screwed and when I voted liberal, I felt the same. Quite frankly, they all suck. I'm yet to find anything about this government that I'm comfortable with and there was nothing about the predecessor that made me feel like they were in control. A bit damned if you do, damned if you don't. I mostly just shut up about it all now because I feel that there is pretty much squat either party can do to help this country, they are both determined to stuff us one way or another. I don 't want to vote at all because if I vote for a smaller party, they decide who to give my preference to and the big parties are full of fools.
This. What's being a Lib or Labor voter got to do with anything Luna Moth? Do you think that a Labor Govt would have given us a better budget? Or just one with more 'free money'? Seems everyone's happy if we get some money but as soon as we don't we cry foul. Either way this country is ****ed and going to hell in a handbasket quicker than you can say 'slashing welfare'. This is the 'chickens are coming home to roost' budget and we're having to pay for the indulgences of a previous Govt. It wouldn't matter a fat rat's arse who was in Govt, at some point we were going to have a budget that came down hard on middle class welfare and all the other areas they can cut spending because at some point our country's debt does have to be repaid. We can't keep trotting out the 'but we're in a better position than all the other countries' because it's still debt and debt has to be paid and one day that debt could come back to bite us on the arse. I don't agree with many of the changes at all and I cannot possibly see what good can come of it except making it even harder for those who are already struggling. I think anyone who voted for the Liberal party at the last election did so in good faith, just like ALP voters did and that all went to **** too. Anyone who thinks that one party could do better than the other is naive because Govts are only there to suit themselves, not us.
