That is a trick question. I would willingly vote for anyone who&#039;ll keep labour out of government. And, in case you&#039;re wondering, no I am not a church-going, lumpy nerd or boring homely couple with 2.1 children, etc. nor am I a granny. 

I&#039;m willing to put up with all that because, perversely, it is precisely that church-going, etc. lot who enabled free expression and respect for individual rights as a matter of principle rather than expediency. That matters more to me than a chance at sucking on the money funnel which seems to be the sole ambition of the PL voter.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Exactly. They didn&#039;t have a hope in hell because they are the party of church-going pensioners, lumpy nerds, and boring, homely couples with 2.1 children, all not particularly bright and without any aspirations beyond settling down, receiving some government aid, and starting a heterosexual family, and all led by a weak-willed man offering nothing in particular except more of the same.


Would you vote for this party? 


Some people do, but they&#039;re the ones who don&#039;t break even after six hours of waterboarding.]]></description>

Well let me put this in a simplified way. The likes of you talk in mathematics. The likes of me talk of higher powers. 


I know for fact that according to your mathematics you are  spot on. But according to my other beliefs that miracles do happen.
the prime minister may be a manipulator and a sleazy schemer, but that does not protect him from his shortcomings in wisdom and good governance. 

The lack of these vital assests are the emergence of dark foes surrounding him, and they are getting closer, tightening around him.

 In 2.5 years he has emerged as a liar, schemer manipulator and a backstabber. Obviously he has never read the classics regarding great leaders and their downfall. 

If he had, he would avoid what is in store for him. His future is bleak and sad. ]]></description>

You don&#039;t get it. It&#039;s about what people believe you will deliver.


Answer this: what IS Labour&#039;s identity?


Are they socialists? Marxists? Nationalists? Conservatives? What are they?


What is the Nationalist Party&#039;s identity? 


That&#039;s easier: Christian Democrats.


Did it help that they have a clear identity? No.]]></description>

You cannot build an intelligent electorate in two and a half years (that&#039;s how close we are to 2018).


What you need is an intelligent (as opposed to &quot;dedicated&quot;, or &quot;principled&quot;) campaign guru.


Because the result for 2018 is looking increasingly like:
MLP...................  50%
PN.....................   46%
Imperium Europa. 2%
AD........................ 2%


Intelligent campaign gurus tackle ALL the taboos.]]></description>

Your concern for the Nationalist Party is touching but misplaced.

Instead of focusing on the Opposition, you should be focusing on the government.

While the Nationalist Party spends 10 years in Opposition reforming itself as you wish, the Labour Party will by default be spending 10 years in government wrecking the place and embezzling as much as it can.]]></description>
