Faris: Time for Australian Conservatives to unite
|
The entirely predictable landslide to Labor has occurred because the Liberals became a soft-Left political party. They not only moved to the centre, they crossed the centre line. Accordingly, the Australian voters were given no distinctive choice - whoever you voted for you got a soft-Left government. Liberal and Labor policies were the same. So Australia voted against the tired, lacklustre party and for the newly invigorated one. The landslide result is good for Australia for two reasons. First, it gives Rudd a mandate (and an obligation) to introduce or continue the Liberal party policies he stole. Second, it partly disposes of my greatest concern - the power of the Left in a Labor government. Rudd’s victory is so complete that it will be very difficult for Labor to replace him with Gillard in the foreseeable future or at all. And what of the Liberals? They are finished as a political party. They have lost everything throughout Australia. The time has now come for a conservative rejuvenation. Conservatives all over Australia must join together to build a new Conservative Alliance. Despite the fact that we have wall-to-wall Socialist governments, I believe that Australians are essentially conservative people. We need a new party that actually offers them distinctive policies - and policies which are unashamedly to the Right of centre. We need a party that offers strong policies which are, by definition, politically incorrect. We need policies that are strong on law and order, immigration, support of the family unit, support of marriage, proper education, the defeat of multiculturalism, support for country people and, above all, close ties with the US. We need to develop a patriotic pride in our country. We need to love our country, not hate it. In short, we need to become Australia Patriots. |

Yes, Coalition strategists, please listen to Peter Faris. The entertainment value of his analysis is superb - the Howard regime as “soft Left” - and his advice will keep you in the wilderness for even more than the minimum three terms you face anyway
Pete, whatever drugs you are on, I want some! Such fantasies, such delusion!
“wall-to-wall Socialist governments” ? only if ‘socialist’ means not always allowing naked individual greed to be the great trump in every policy debate. But take heart Peter, the British ‘conservatives’ seem to be making a ‘comeback’.
I am aware that the Melbourne International Comedy Festival is still 5 months away but do we know where Peter will be appearing. Can’t wait to see that stuff live.
Keep taking the medication Peter: ” wall to wall socialist governments”??
“Despite the fact that we have wall-to-wall Socialist governments, I believe that Australians are essentially conservative people”
This is gold, gold. A better one-sentence summary of right-wing denial would be hard to come by. Cheers for the laugh!
I see Venise knows her socialists greetings well. Peter Faris is right about need for conservative, right wing revival. Extent of problem is huge - WA’s State Lib leader announced need for a new world view for Libs - a week after Libs won 11/15 WA seats!
“support of marriage”? Oh be honest - what you mean is no marriage for same-sex couples, isn’t it? If you want to be discriminatory, why be coy about it?
And you think the Howard government was a “soft-left” government? Oh dear…
Seig Heil! Seig Heil! It may astonish you to consider the following. ‘The USA needs us more than we need it.’
Peter, you should really stop pulling your punches with this sort of namby-pamby politically-correct tripe. Why don’t you say what you really mean instead of spewing forth these weasel-words? Have some guts instead of becoming what you despise.
Can he be serious? This is the kind of brilliant plan the Tories in the UK came up with after Major lost and look at all the good it did them. Sure Pete, move further to the Right, right off the end of the bar table and into the dustbin of history.
There has to be some loony far right party in the US that needs Campaign st US Republican Party needs campaign staff
Whoa! Can I hear strains of Wagner in the background?
Is this a joke? Is Peter Faris a *very* deadpan satirist?
“wall to wall Socialist governments”: I could only laugh at the NSW Labor Government as “left-wing”.
And the Liberal Party as “soft-Left”? It is a euphemism to describe them as “centre-right”.
The Liberals lost because they were too left? Crikey - is this Mad Monday? This guy is even funnier than Flint!
