Because its more important then footy I am blogging this. Hopefully some of you care enough about our country to at least think about this:-

Regardless of your political biases it is without dispute that our Prime Minister Julia Gillard has no mandate to form a government and is therefore an illegitimate Prime Minister!

Now before all of the Green Voting, labor voting people start abusing me let me state my case and then please consider it and I would love to have intelligent thoughtful apposing views that point out the errors of my stance, if there are any. That is how I learn, I am always happy to adopt another view point if it is clearly and coherently stated.

Julia Gillard Is an illegitimate Prime Minister because:-

1: The Coalition won more seats in their own right, latest AEC figures put it at: Coalition 73 Labor 71.

2: The coalition has won the majority of the Two Party Preferred vote

3: The coalition has won the majority of the first preference votes

So by all measures the majority of Australians gave their vote to the coalition. 

Therefore even though a majority of the people on this forum I believe will appose the coalition and my stance, if you are fair, you have to say that the "independents" have helped Jullia Gillard's Labor party form Government despite the wishes of the majority of Australians.

We the people have had our wishes ignored and disregarded.

  • So those numbers from the AEC MB, do they include Katter's vote for the Coalition and Windsor's and Oakeshott's for Labor?
  • Definitely...Couldn't agree more...
  • No Ricky, they are the "raw" figures won by each side without the new partnerships formed
  • That's interesting, but just one question! What's this doing on an eels supporter website?
    There's nothing more fucked than politicians! It honestly doesn't matter who wins! Nothing will change!
  • Guys, I'm moving to this social blogs.
  • Ah ok.
    Well then based on their stats, the Coalition would still be ahead 74 seats to 73, so it just makes it even more of a farce than what it already is really.
    Wait, the Greens guy and Wilkie sided with Gillard too, so that'd make it 75 to 74 to Labor, but it still doesn't discount the fact that more people were supportive of the Liberals.

    Found the comment laughable from Tony Windsor when he said that one reason for backing the ALP was that Abbott was more likely to win any new election.
    • Yes I heard that comment from Windsor? makes you wonder hey, if he believes that then shouldn't the people have the opportunity to vote that way?
  • Beat you to it!!! ;-)
  • well if we believe that we may as well turn off the lights and give up
  • P.S. :-)
