Commenting on “One in 10 would vote differently in election”
Independents are more concerned about local issues, and therefore it is more appropriate for them to contest in State or Local Council elections.
Election 2010 will go down in Australia history as the joke of the century, with the independents holding the balance of power, thus holding the future governing party and Australia to ransom. The Fathers of Democracy must be rolling in their graves as they are witnessing the current showdown.
If the independents are given a chance to announce their policies relevant to the national interests, I believe their speeches will be delivered in entirety just in seconds and highly inaudible!
