The stain of left wing politics has been removed.

Yes that's her. I didn't see Clive correct her, you can post a link if he did, it might make an improvement on your selfie you keep posting.

Palmer did water down what she said, considerably. It's now an expectation (or similar) of support for an ETS.

[IQS.RLOW]

Palmer lies, skip.

So does Abbott.

They all do skip, especially your beloved Green scum party.

I was pissing myself with laughter watch the old boiler Milne and the child senator bloviate and steam as the carbon tax they wanked so hard over was finally unravelled.

After all their hard work fucking over Krudd and jumping for joy at introducing a typical pure Greens sin tax that did nothing, slugged normal Australians, cost a fortune and was completely useless, they have ended up with exactly what they deserved. Their fucked up tax down the shitter and nothing else in its place.

It's got to be the greatest win for conservatives since the GST was brought in (a good tax that is still going strong)

It's a failure you and your lot of scumbag kunts can wear on your fucking forehead as a badge of political fuckwittery that was finally righted by the conservatives against the evil fucking left.

Really an ETS.... is that what he promised Al Gore?

While I don't consider myself right wing, I think I started life leaning to the left and now I lean to the right.

Thinking about it I was probably leaning left when I was young because I came from a country town that depended on government policy to survive and most of my family were dependant on the state in some form. Fucking bludgers. Hell I grew up like many people in Housing Commission house on a housing commission suburb. Thank god for that. Lean to living like the local indigenous on the side of a river bank may not have been a good start.

I have never had a government hand-out for anything. All I have ever done is pay.. pay.. pay for others to have a comfortable and secure lifestyle and my share of infrastructure (which is fine) In fact due to my age and timing of my birth they seem to move the goal posts just I am about to get some benefit from the government policy in Oz and UK. I always appears to just be above the earnings or asset level and not be eligible or bought a house under my own steam and miss out on 1st time buyer grants or earned to much for one time hand-outs or ... well fucking all of them.

Now the fuckers in the UK and I expect soon in Australia are looking at our savings in Pensions and assets. The left think nothing of coming to take what little I have worked so hard for a life time to save to make the books in the long term (even short term) balance.

Every time a left government gets in they spend, spend and spend unwisely.

Then the right get in and have to tighten the belts to re-balance the books making hard and unpopular decisions then the lefties vote them out because their hand-outs are reduced.

Fuck me, if we left the conservatives to just run the show we would be better off collectively if they had some concern for those in the lower middle or bottom Then if the conservatives built a war chest and a successful economy they would need to share some of it around without hand-outs except to the very needy, not the stupid or lazy.

Funding socialism from the profits of capitalism can only go so far. It is failing. It will fail. Then they will come for the assets of the middle class that saved... like they asked us to.

Look a France if you want to see a fucked up economy due to the left.

Look at the UK. The left want to bring in a yearly tax just because your home is worth over a certain amount. Fuck me dead. They are turn hard left to win the votes of the lazy and stupid. There are many in the UK. I read a month ago that more than 50% of UK households take more from the government than they give. This is not sustainable.

The left want a society funded my the large but still a minority of the middle class (the rich have better instruments to reduce their contribution) to fund the life style of the majority. This will not work.

Also I feel some of the leftist policies have created even more radical right wing movements.

The war of left vs right is not over. Recently both traditional conservative and labour parties moved more to the middle ground to address some of my points however I think the west (excluding the US... don't understand the US enough) are heading for a real political battle. I fear there are too many stupid and selfish people on the left that will vote for anyone promising hand-outs. This could be the beginning of the end for our current systems.

All we need is a major banking crisis, huge rises in interest rates and our governments will be coming for our savings.

Watch and see. Do more... start to protect your assets and savings. Make them less visible to the government if you can.

Look what happens when a conservative government gets in and starts to fix the books after 10 years of labor in the UK.

“Britain’s economic plan to get the public finances in order has helped raise business confidence and assisted in restoring growth to the economy. Beating other major economies, these figures are a real coup for the chancellor.”

Britain’s recovery outstrips the world

Britain’s economic recovery is leaving the rest of the developed world in its wake after the International Monetary Fund upgraded its growth forecast by more than any other major economy.

The UK is now expected to grow by 3.2 per cent this year, more than any other member of the G7 group of leading nations and a full percentage point more than Canada, the next closest country. If the IMF is correct, it would be the strongest single year since the final heady days before the financial turmoil in 2007.

Yesterday’s announcement was the fourth successive upgrade to UK growth by the IMF in a year, bucking its increasingly pessimistic outlook for the global economy. The 0.4 percentage point rise for Britain was described as a surprise by the Washington-based fund.

George Osborne, the chancellor, welcomed the revision, which came just over a year after Olivier Blanchard, the IMF’s chief economist, accused him of “playing with fire” by persisting with austerity. Since the row in April last year, the IMF has more than doubled its UK forecast from 1.5 per cent.

Mr Blanchard admitted this year that the IMF had been too pessimistic, and Christine Lagarde, the IMF’s managing director, conceded that the fund had “got it wrong” on the UK. “The IMF is eating humble pie again,” Ruth Porter, head of economics and social policy at the Policy Exchange think-tank, said.

“Britain’s economic plan to get the public finances in order has helped raise business confidence and assisted in restoring growth to the economy. Beating other major economies, these figures are a real coup for the chancellor.”

The government is expected to receive another boost today, when the Office for National Statistics confirms that all the ground lost in the recession has been recovered and the economy is bigger than ever before.

Economists expect the ONS to report that the economy grew 0.8 per cent in the three months to June, matching the previous quarter. Anything above 0.6 per cent will lift national output above its pre-crisis high, six years after the Great Recession struck.

Danny Alexander, the Liberal Democrat chief secretary to the Treasury, said that the new outlook demonstrated “that Britain is now in the fast lane of recovery”, but he cautioned that there was “still a long way to go to fully repair the damage of the Labour years”.

Ensuring that the Conservatives do not take exclusive credit for the recovery, he added: “This confirms again that our decision to form the coalition has given Britain the strength and stability to deliver the economic plan, every part of which bears the hallmark of Liberal Democrat values.”

Ed Balls, the shadow chancellor, said that there was little to celebrate as GDP per person still has a long way to go to regain its former levels. “Not only is it two years later than the chancellor’s original plan, and three years after the US reached the same point, it’s also the case that GDP per head won’t recover to where it was for around another three years; in other words, a lost decade for living standards,” he writes in The Guardian today.

There was little to dispute about the IMF upgrade, though. The fund also revised its UK growth forecast for 2015 from 2.5 per cent to 2.7 per cent, far higher than its original prediction of 2 per cent in October last year.

A separate economic survey yesterday from the CBI, the employers’ forum, suggested potential growth was running at around a ten-year high.

In its half-yearly World Economic Outlook update, the IMF reserved its concerns to emerging markets and parts of the eurozone.

It cut its global growth outlook from 3.7 per cent to 3.4 per cent this year, largely on the back of a huge downgrade to the US and a smaller revision to emerging market prospects. “The recovery continues, but it remains a weak recovery,” Mr Blanchard said.

The US revision, he added, “to a large extent reflects something that has already happened, namely the large negative US growth rate in the first quarter”. America was hit by unusually bad weather and destocking by companies at the start of the year, causing the economy to shrink by 2.9 per cent on an annualised basis.

As a result, the IMF shaved 1.1 percentage points off its 2014 US growth forecast, lowering it to just 1.7 per cent this year.

Europe’s fortunes were mixed. Germany and Spain were upgraded, but France and Italy suffered downgrades of 0.3 per cent this year. France is now predicted to grow by just 0.7 per cent this year. Germany is also predicted to grow more slowly than the UK this year and next.

OMG! You mean that Keynesian leftwingonomics is a failure like every other lefty idea?
Well, colour you purple

Every single leftwing policy is wrong from the ground up.

I don't think providing a safety net is wrong, particularly the principle of how and why if was first implemented.

It has been abused and is given to the lazy or the abusers by the left when in power and it has gone on for too long. That is the left have abused capitalism to try and fund socialism. They don't know the balance.

A couple of months ago the paper in the UK stated that more than 50% of households in the UK take more than they give. How the fuck can that work. It will ruin the hand that feeds them.

[IQS.RLOW]

It's because the left are pure scum and will take advantage when given the opportunity.

Give them an inch and they will take a mile, then whinge that it isn't enough.
I hate the fucking left. They are the source of most of the worlds problems.
