NSW State Election

The voting choice was dismal.

After supporting the Liberal Party since 1970, State and Federal, the doubts began to surface ten years ago. Once the buffoons ousted Malcom Turnbull last August, I vowed it was over. The Federal Libs have become a shadow of what it used to be, especially on climate change and energy and I am disillusioned with their hard-line asylum seeker stance.

However, this is about the State election and the Mike Baird/Gladys Berajiklian years have not been covered in glory for the Liberals either.

I regard myself as a centre moderate liberal and I can no longer vote for a party that has lurched so far to the right and is so entrenched with its pseudo-religious ethos.

So this liberal will resume voting Liberal when the Liberal Party resumes being a liberal party.

My Lower House options were the mediocrity of Liberal, sitting Labor and the Greens; and three unknown independents who will undoubtedly always remain unknown.

I voted for none of them. I voted informal.

In the Upper House I looked for the emergence of a Centrist party to fill the growing chasm between Labor on the left and the Liberal/National Coalition on the extremeright. Mostly all I saw, apart from the main parties, was the usual gaggle of single interest parties and other parties with trumped up names like Advance Australia.

There were the socialists at one end of the spectrum and the religious whackos, the Australian Conservatives; with Pauline Bloody Hanson & Fred Nile at the other end.

The Sensible Centre has been disenfranchised in the Federal sphere after Malcolm Turnbull was removed as PM by the loony right warriors and the same types are in state politics.

I never thought I would ever vote for minor parties but I ended up voting for the Voluntary Euthenasia Party, the Seniors United Party and the leader of a new independent party with Centrist leanings called James Jansson who included as one of his party's policies the ending of religious indoctrination in schools and other sensible policies.

Sounds good to me.
