watso is a swinging voter, who gives consideration to where his preference ends up, as watso tends to vote for all the minor parties first.
watso accepts that there is very little that federal governments can do, except to fiddle around the edges a bit, but vision for the future would be a good thing - eg infrastructure
watso is a staunch unionist, and did not care, if the union funds supported the labor party, even if his end preference at the time was for the libs - as it is all part of the balance and counter balance which is needed
in western australia, there was a lot of opposition to the building of the mandurah- perth railway due to cost etc etc - and there have been cost blowouts, but it is visionary, and will still be there in a hundred years. it also makes the idea of living 50 km from perth, an option
