I hope the campaign managers of all minor parties read this. The next Fed election is a prime opportunity to take votes off the majors.....The kind of socialism the Left, I am assuming, want is the kind of policies that actually made Western democracies the kind of place people the world over love. It made possible the lore of poor kids making it in the world through hardwork and studies etc.; it demand that the poor and the sick should be cared for by the state; it demand safe and fair work practices etc. etc.
These fundamental changes since WW2 have and are being systematically dismantled - it's happening right now as we speak. ANd it's not being done in by refugees or Muslims or the poor - it's being done in by the rich and the powerful. Clean shaven, well spoken henchman....

Yes we are running headlong into a corporatocracy where all our essential services will be supplied by people who want to make a profit out of us.
Electricity, water, health, banking, transport, communications have all been or are being privatised by the Neo Cons usually by stealth with dirty deals like guaranteed profits for decades hidden under the veil of "commercial in confidence" which we only find out after it's too late.
The Greens are looking like a better bet for me at the next election, not that it will do any good because the Neanderthals (Nationals) have my seat sown up.
As PM Turnbull has exhorted us - we'll just have to be 'agile' and 'innovative' - at the ballot box.

“Donald Trump is the new face of white supremacy,” says hate crime expert.
August 24, 2015 ~ Randy Blazak
Before you think this article is “just one liberal’s opinion,” let me briefly say I have dedicated my life to studying racism. I earned my PhD from Emory University in 1995 after spending several years doing ethnographic field studies of white supremacist groups. I have published books and articles in peer-reviewed journals on the subject and have appeared on more TV shows than I can remember discussing how hate works. In my 20 years at Portland State University, I interviewed scores of committed racists, from teenage skinheads to racist murderers and founders of Nazi prison gangs. So when I say that presidential candidate Donald Trump is a racist hate-monger it’s not just a political pejorative. He has a constitutional right to hold and express racist views, but using those views to manipulate the intellectually vulnerable and mobilize active bigots requires a coherent response. As an expert on hate, I am more than comfortable stating that either Trump is a virulent racist or that he is willing to perform racism and use racism of others to advance his political position

There have always been candidates and voters with extreme views but in recent years they have seemingly taken over the Republican Party. From the George W. Bush-engineered invasion of Iraq, to the runaway candidacy of Donald Trump, the Republicans are no longer a party of restraint or discipline. Why?
There is another excellent analysis examining why the Republican message has become so extreme. Compelling and scary. Explains Trump to a T.

It's a reaction to the Dumbocrats moving to the left basilio. I mean could you get any more loopy than Bernie?
Strange days indeed.
They're not moving to the Left, Sifu.
Bernie is now considered a loony left when his platform is what president Eisenhower and his Republican party ran on. That general was no peacenik or commie. Just show how far right US politic has gone since.
Guys like Trump wouldn't win the general election, we hope... but he certainly steer them Yanks a few more inches to the Right this season.
Great piece of research on the policies of resident Eisenhower Luutzu. I'm assuming they are accurate.
It certainly makes one think about the change in overall political direction since the 50's. I wonder how far the Eisenhower administration actually followed their platform. ?
Alright so maybe Bernie's no Eisenhower the Allied Supreme Commander. But I'm not wrong about Ike being a Lefty.

What you are missing is the context of the times, grasshopper.
Would Ike espouse the same generalized policies in todays political climate. I would bet not all.
