Would you vote for this political party?

Question

Lowering carbon emissions, supporting artistic and cultural development, invest in public health, education and mass transport while being generaly progressive on moral and social policy?

why do people suddenly think i'm american? jeez im in australia. and how can people say that cultural development is a bad thing? what would the difference be between england, australia and america if culture didn't exist?

Answer 1

Sounds pretty good, can they also work within a budget, and cut back on government spending. Even if it means losing some extraneous services?

And how about legalizing drugs, so we can stop filling up our jails with users. AND, take the profit out of gangs and organized crime to make the world safer for everyone.

Also, many Americans are very short sided, please forgive them, they get fed all this 'America is the Greatest' propaganda from their goverment, and most do not travel to another country. They don't know any better.

Answer 2

In the present atmosphere, there is not always a difference among balloting on disorders and balloting a celebration line. The fact is that there's a lovely sharp difference among the events, and plenty of consistency in every celebration. Analysis of balloting styles in Congress confirms this: votes are a lot more alongside celebration traces than ago. Not sudden, due to the fact it was that the Dixiecrats, at the same time within the Democratic Party, had been at the a long way correct and the Republicans had an energetic and robust liberal wing. I might in no way vote for a Republican at present, even supposing I appreciated the candidate. Even the few moderates left paly no truly position besides to forged votes for the Republican management applicants, thereby empowering the extremists that dominate the celebration.

Answer 3

To Conservatives, Art is a Photo Op of George Bush in an orange jumpsuit, culture is a daily broadcast of Rush Limbaugh, and public health is a bulletin on Cheney's heart condition.

None of these very vital concerns that you list are of any importance to an American Conservative. They are more apt to applaud the suppression of freedoms, the struggles of the poor, and the cessation of unions. They think Global Warming is a laugh. They also think that the War in Iraq is "winnable," although they cannot describe just what winning involves.

I would certainly vote for that political party, and I believe Australians just did. Americans will vote for this party, too, but we always have our group of Limbaughites who repeat the Party Line and deplore anything that smacks of common sense and compassion.

Answer 4

Yes to lowering carbon emissions because both the US and the Middle East would be destroyed if the earth's ecosystem collapsed (kinda like two residents strangling each other while the house is burning down around them...you both die). No to arts -- state-funded art SUCKS, trust me I worked for one such agency outside the US, public health yes because people don't "deserve" death from disease merely for being poor. Yes to progressive moral and social policy because you don't choose skin colour or sexuality, and it's a bloody SIN and shame of humanity to kill or insult people based on things you can't change. No matter what white supremacists say, I believe God created all people equal and if our history hasn't reflected this, our laws for the future should.

Answer 5

Culture is a great thing! And I support cultural arts and experiences for people of all ages. There aren't enough projects funded for the arts. In the US we have lots of interesting groups of different heritages and I think this should be developed and shared. I live in the Ozark Highlands and if we don't start documenting aspects of this culture, the early generations will have passed on and we will lose a record of our past.

Answer 6

My question is: How?

Supporting artistic and cultural development? Do you mean more money for the NEA so we can have more Maplethorpe pictures? How is that art or culture?

Public education? If it meant actual improvement, sure. But not throwing money at a problem and wishing it would get better doesn't work. I have worked in public schools, sadly many are wasteful money pits.

Progressive? Where is the progress?

Answer 7

Only if I can do it without guaranteeing that the greater of two evils (the G.reedy O.bstinate P.ig Party) gets in by default.

Oh, you're talking about Australia. Well, if you can do so without shooting yourself in the foot, as the situation in the U.S. would likely involve, go for it. And throw a smirking chimp on the barbie for us!

Answer 8

I think the idea of voting for a party is useless. We should all vote for the candidate, and not the party that we think is best.

The real truth is that both parties have good people and bad people, and if you vote purely for only one party, you are probably not doing enough research.

Answer 9

It depends on what the rest of their platform is, and where they get their campaign financing. It also depends on what the candidate they are running stands for. *sm*

Answer 10

No. Not based off of the information presented. Its one thing to say you're going to do something, I want to know HOW you plan on doing it.
