liberal as a better option?

I have a hard time believing that people disillusioned with Labor's lack of care for 'the working man' would turn to Liberal as a better option. I think generally those people vote Liberal for a host of reasons that have little to do with economics and much more to do with fear and a misguided sense of the national.  
 
What started off as my attempt to start a conversation about how much Labor have shifted to the right has ended up being a forum for Liberal voters to vent about how crap Labor are and how Liberals offer something better.  
 
Obviously that was my misguided sense of a left politic still existing outside of right wing rhetoric about 'Marxists' (believe me, there are very few of these left) and 'corrupt' unions. No wonder Labor have had to shift so far right, you guys probably think the national party are a bunch of potential 'reds' hiding under your posturepedics.  
 
Bob Santamaria would be proud!
