““Me and” is my personal campaign against “and I”, which is poncy.”

Hmm, sounds like you and I could be of like minds here. I am interested in your theories and would like to log on onto your wiki.

I don’t care what the pendants say (say, put a tune to that!). “Me and” is my personal campaign against “and I”, which is poncy.

> how could they be worse?

Despite how horrid the ALP currently is in NSW, it appears many voters are still able to come up with ways to answer your question.

The fact that the NSW Liberal Party is entirely in the grip of religious fundamentalists might have something to do with that.

AAAAAgh! I’m surrounded by grammar pedants (Jen’s wading through yet another essay on systemic functional grammar for her Masters - I fink I’ll talk ungrammatical just on principal - not to mention misspelling - language guerilla warfare - mind you quite a few of my students are unwitting language guerillas).

which I (KP) recommend too for those with semi-codger era tastes in rock (like me and Tony, it seems).

Sometimes known as Dad Rock (Tony and I or me and Tones but not me and Tony?)

Actually while I am no fan of Lemma, I quite like Costa, a true Labor Right free marketeer. I think he would make a good Premier, if only he had the support.

Jase that is rationalisation at its worse.
how could they be worse?

They wouldn’t have the sleaze factor nor the problem of being in too long.

They mightn’t have been a whole lot better but it is absurd in the extreme to say they would have been worse.

When a party wins power again all power goes to the leader the factions fade away.

Factions are only ’strong ‘ in opposition when a lot of the time they turn on themselves.

How could any rational person possibly vote ALP in the last election or in any poll in the meantime

I did because the then alternative under Peter ‘Speedo’ Debnam, the right wing liberal who apparently opposes privatisation, was worse.

Might have had more to do with Sartor, Tripodi, Costa and Iemma maintaining a steady level of repugnancy during the campaign but Debnam - particularly with his silly remarks about Debus - riding a rocket up the repugnancy ratings; his dramatic rise was a bit of an electoral turnoff. Sure, he was still far less awful than any of the ALP quartet but we’d had time to become inured to them.

“How could any rational person possibly vote ALP in the last election or in any poll in the meantime.”

Because they don’t like religious fundamentalists (NSW Liberal Right) in power.

For the record, I’m strongly against the Iemma Government and did not vote for them at the last election. The problem seems to be that both parties appear unelectable.

Ken,

Quite clearly the people of NSW must be in the same league as US voters of whom over 70% thought Hussein resposible for 11/9.

We have one of the most incompetent Governments in this State’s history.

This was quite apparent before the Election.

This poll stills means, on some assumptions , a minority ALP Government.

How could any rational person possibly vote ALP in the last election or in any poll in the meantime!
