What has Kevin Rudd done for us?

[ninwa]

I don't even know who's worse anymore, Rudd or Abbott. And that's really depressing...

KEVIN Rudd has put another election promise on the backburner with his controversial internet filtering legislation set to be shelved until after the next election.

lol. Even he knows nobody wants this stupid filter.

idk i hear abbotts corrupt taking money from tabacco companies and stuff and isnt liberal like right wing

[Fyrefly]

The problem is that no-one particularly likes liberal *or* labour atm... it's like voting for the lesser demon.

If only one of the minority parties could get a bit of financial backing and support - if a better candidate was able to reach out to the mainstream public and get their name and face out there, then I think they could win this damn circus of an election ">.>

I won't be voting for Rudd because of his fked up internet censorship plans.
That and the fact that he just keeps throwing money at everything without actually having a decent plan...

If Rudd stepped down and Julia Gillard stepped up to the plate, then I'd vote for Labour.

I'd vote democrats if they were still even half alive... I was thinking greens (the closest thing to a 3rd party we have) untill i saw they were against nuclear power.

I'll be able to vote for the first time ever this year and ive got absolutely no one i like...

atm I'd rather throw my vote away than vote for Rudd or Abbott

[slothpomba]

Theres a lot of political parties that aren't currently registered... my favourite one was called "Party!Party!Party!"

Might wanna read about tactical voting too

[TrueLight]

whats tactical voting when both parties would do the same thing when in power
but its the lesser of two evils thing, its difficult but theres other parties so just vote for what you believe in or your gut...but definitely not voting labour ... i finally woke up (thanks ron paul) after i voted for rudd in 07

If Rudd discards internet censorship, I'll think about it.
