Is the Labor Party Socialist?, page-49

I contemplate it every election but they never inspire confidence in their senior leadership - they actually do have some talent in their ranks but it ends up being a factional compromise leader every time and they will figuratively knife that leader in a heartbeat if they antagonise other factions.
In terms of policy they don't tend to think things through and will do really dumb things to win votes becoming more left with time heading towards Greens, not that the libs are a whole lot better at thinking through policy but they are less worse IMO.
