Moving Along Nicely

Thursday, 8th March, 2007  - Richard Farmer 
We are in to the second week of the Coalition campaign to remind people that all politicians stink and things are going marvellously well.
The spotlight might temporarily be off Kevin Rudd and there are some residual casualties on the Coalition’s own side but the public standing of politicians can rarely have been lower. That is precisely what was needed to take the gloss off the new Labor Leader. Welcome down to the depths with the rest of us Kevin where we can all splash around in the mud until election day.
The only winners in this process are the independents who can pretend not to be politicians at all.
The one prediction I will make about the coming election is that the combined vote for the Coalition and Labor parties will resume the downward trend of the last 20 years that was interrupted by a slight rise in 2004. It augurs well for the Greens to end up in control of the Senate.
