This is Party Politics, and it illustrates precisely why it doesn't work.
The old Left vs Right nonsense groups all the parties into one of these camps and then claims that the smaller parties steal votes from the bigger parties who then fail to get elected and form a government. So it's all the fault of the stupid voters ...
But right or wrong, the voters vote for the parties with the policies they want to see implemented. Isn't that at least nominally what elections are all about? If they only voted as advised by their electoral pundits, nobody would vote for the policies that they wanted and the big party leaders wouldn't hesitate to say that nobody wanted those policies.
It's a rigged system and judging by the ever-growing percentage of people who simply don't cast a vote any more, it's gradually losing its electoral support year on year.
The exception to this tendency is Rupert Lowe, and that's not because he's yet another politician with finer rhetoric than the rest; it's because he has already taken real action on some serious political issues facing the country, and those people who have given up on voting have noticed just how different he is.
Who can blame them? I hope Rupert has good security.
