It just seems to me that Labor can never get it right. Shackled to a tax that it's original core constituency would have nothing to do with. This confirms that the ALP has lost it's soul and is in limbo, wafting around in an ethereal miasma all of its own making, like a poor lost soul. It thinks it is right but has gone so far up the blind alley of soy-latte-decaf-chias that it IMO will never find it's way out.
It wants to believe that it believes in something that no one cares about anymore.
Poor Labor, they are to be pitied more than despised and 2 to 3 terms of an Abbott government will mean that what emerges from the carnage will be more like the old labor or more like the coalition.
