ALP

By: lateral (Registered ) on 08-10-2007 04:51

I was a member of the ALP in Queensland and Victoria in the 70's and early 80's. Voting for Whitlam, Hawke, Cain and doing my bit letter boxing and handing out how to vote cards.  
 
I became very disillusioned with the party that consistently demonstrated incompetence in management and expecially economic management.  
 
I must have missed the point when I joined. A party I though was in favour of equal access to opportunity and looking after the average battler I found a party which was dominated by undemocratic unions and the university elite who believed they knwe waht was best. The workers we actually us dummies who did as we were told in the branches, and did the leg work for "in crowd".  
 
The ALP is not a grass roots party, maybe was in the very very early years but certainly aint now. 
 
One day I'd like to vote ALP again, but on the current state of the party I think it'll be a long time. Rudd and a team of unionists with little experience outside this narrow union and academic base cannot run this country.  
 
Ah well, another disaster on the way.
