In an election year, it's interesting to again look at the 'coalition'. Have mentioned on here before that I think there's hardly a single point of agreement between the Liberal and National parties. One is a free market party, the other an agrarian socialist party. The only thing that unites them is hatred of Labor, and unions. Hatred of a large chunk of the rest of society doesn't seem like a healthy basis to form a government. But there we have it. I'm sure some people think I'm a Leftie, but actually I'm a conservative person at heart. We just don't have any decent conservatives left, we have union-hating, cold-eyed zealots.
