Why the Left should support Katters Australian Party

[Sojourner]

Interesting artice on "The Drum" today - Come on Gozu, give us a few of your thoughts!

There's one thing that's more wrong than our politicians: our political scientists' complete misdiagnosis of what's happening in the formation of Katter's Australian Party, and what it might mean for our politics.
What the intelligentsia doesn't get is that the hard left of politics will find a lot of common ground with our Bob. The left, and Greens supporters, should vote for the Australian Party at the next elections.

Apparently, the right-wing Mr Katter is going to split the conservative vote. But has anyone even read the policies on the party's website? Continued -

It's funny politics is like a circle and even though Katter is far-right he actually comes around and starts nudging up against the far-left.

I don't know why that writer thinks Greens supporters should vote for him they're a broad left-wing party much like the ALP used to be until they vacated the field and jumped in bed with the Libs. Far-left is Socialist Alliance and the various Communist Party's.

I'm a lefty not far-left and I couldn't even consider voting for Katter in any sort of way given his attitude towards gay people and climate change.
