All based upon a letter written by the Artful Dodger and dropped to the press outlets
Last election it was Gillman. He needed to do something different for this election

Country folk aren't dumb and the Liberals have done nothing as since 2002. Labor thinks SA stops at Gepps Cross and the Toll Gate.Dogwatcher wrote:I understand that the concern around some Lib country seats is very real. Not just a media beat-up.

"The truth is there are not a lot of votes out there in country South Australia for us, so in some ways we are free of the electoral imperatives about this," Mr Weatherill told the ABC's Landline program back in July.

Jay Weatherill is a strong and vocal supporter of the GM ban, and earlier in the year said he would not be pressured by the grains industry to scrap the ban.

Wish more politicians would take that sort of stand, actually, otherwise there's no point in even having policies or elections.

So do you think a member of parliament should only represent those that voted for him/her to get in? Or once in, they should represent everyone in their electorate?
I believe a strong leader will do the latter, while a weaker person will fall for the former in an effort to seek re-election, rather than doing "what's right".

Yeah, nothing to see here: "The truth is there are not a lot of votes out there in country South Australia for us, so in some ways we are free of the electoral imperatives about this,"
In other words: "I would have changed if it meant critical votes"

So let me get this straight. Weatherall sticks to what he has always said, in counter to "getting votes in the country" and he is therefore not representing everyone and is weak?Trader wrote:morell wrote:Rubbish.
