Preferential Voting - why you should be worried.

The current socialist candidate has similarly promised no carbon tax.



Nobody is buying that.

Nobody is buying that.

Especially if the Greens are in a coalition with Labor.

When the Greens are involved, it usually is.



People remember the last coalition when Parliament was hung. During the campaign, the idiot Labor PM said there will be NO carbon tax if she were elected.



The voting resulted in a hung parliament, so she did a deal with the Greens to take control and retain her job.



Within a month, there was a carbon tax.



3 years later, she was out of a job, the conservatives won and the carbon tax was repealed.



The Greens will do exactly the same thing given the chance.

I do not follow Canadian politics as closely as I do Israeli politics, but as I understands it, the Conservatives will repeal the carbon tax if they win the election. It will not affect me in BC though, because there is a provincial carbon tax that was recently raised. There is a labor-Green government in British Columbia.

Gasoline prices are a buck seventy a liter or more in Vancouver and the leftard extremists running that province are blaming everyone except their own stupid ideology. They raised the carbon tax and are blocking a pipeline from Alberta.



Say bye bye to your money Brick if a Labor/Green coalition wins.

Yes, we know.



There is a slight sliver of hope. The leftards are utterly failing to cost their daffy green policies.



This can only be because they know they will cause massive cost increases.



People are highly suspicious of their claims to the contrary, and it's beginning to show.

Here, they just lie about the cost to the average man for their goofy green energy scams.

They can't lie, because we have a Treasury costing department that costs all government policies.



So they don't disclose the details of the policy so they can't be costed. Which, of course, implies that the costs will be massive.

Spending programs in Canada routinely cost taxpayers more than what politicians said they will.

As they do everywhere in the western world.

You mean Aussie politicians exaggerate too.

[Bricktop]

Oh, boy...they LOVE "exaggerating".



I call it lying.

Israeli politicians have their own version of what truth is too.
