Libertarian is liberal social policies, conservative (free market) economic policies.

I support the right of the individual to do as they choose.

Always feels like choosing the lesser evil - the Greens I guess, even though I strongly disagree with their stances on nuclear power and to a lesser extent GMOs.

not a huge gulf between the sex party and the LDP, philosophically (on social side) anyway. Not sure of their financial stance, must look that up.

i have voted labor at every election, but this one has been tough. it comes down to the NBN and the fact that tony abbott is a crazy right wing idiot.

if they had turnbull it would be really tough. but unlike you rcon, i thought his willingness to at least enter into a discussion on emissions trading was excellent.

similarly, i didn't mind hamilton smith in the state election, but when they got rid of him for redmond, i definitely decided to vote labor.


so your happy to vote for a party run by a loopy left wing idealist, with flawed economic policies and failed programs, only because they will deliver you the NBN that has no business plan available, a estimated cost of 43 billion, which I suspect will be in excess of 100 billion when fully rolled out.

do you even TRY to inform yourself about a topic of do you just sprout crap like some old idiot?

the NBN when it has been rolled out in tasmania was on time and 10% under budget

be offended because I didnt tell you who to vote for, your post came across as a typical voter who makes a decision based on a big glitzy feel good policy, with no reference to the real policies of this election Economic responsibility, border protection, health, education and a tax policy that is a direct assult on employment IE the mining tax, a government which done a deal with the big miners but shafted the rest.
