Can't believe a party can be dumb enough to waste tons of tax payers money, just for advertising how bad the other party is = =
Some of it may be tax money but a fair bit of it would be donations as well. Parties get funding based on how many votes they get (another reason to vote for minor parties). I believe its about $2 a vote.
I think it's unreasonable to stipulate what they should do with their money(within legal bounds) or expect them not to advertise in the advertising saturated world we have today.
browse through their channel suggested that they did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for the community, instead, they spend hours and hours of man power making and advertising how bad labor party is...
I don't think you can tell that looking at their youtube channel. They're a political party and if elected (even now) they actually intend to do things; they a long list (public or private, it certainly exists).
You're quite right there! With little more than a skerrick of intelligence in the LNP, it's not a hard choice.
I don't think thats fair, at all.
Disagreeing with their philosophy is one thing. That'll happen. Calling them 'dumb' or 'stupid' is another. Tony Abbott is a Rhodes Scholar, love him or loathe him, he is by almost any definition a very smart man.
Labeling Liberal voters as dumb is simply ignorant. It displays an ironic lack of understanding by people who level this criticism. Someone can believe a different philosophy from you without being mentally deficient, your way isn't the only way. They have a multitude of reasons for voting as they do, some might be philosophical or some might be purely pragmatic. It's no secret there are some interests that each party represents better than the other. It is no secret people act in their own interests and obviously vote in their own interests.
