I must confess I find most of the party's platform repulsive, but at least they're organised about it and do what they say they will. Labor are a lot of hot air and factional in-fighting, basically Liberal-lite. Unfortunately we don't have a proper left-wing party, unless you count the Greens, who to be fair are becoming more serious about it all. Personally I voted Democrat since I couldn't bring myself to support any of the others. Previously I have boycotted the whole thing in the lack of anyone worth supporting. As South Park says it's a choice between a turd and a giant douche.
