As one of those lef-leaning voters, it is Shorten’s loathing of economic and cultural elitism that I share. I yearn for a return of the promise of a truly egalitarian Australia, instead of the alarmingly unsustainable and growing chasm between the mink-and-manure set, and those the system is leaving behind.
It is therefore quite galling that there are some people who claim to support Shorten, and yet display the sort of elitist attitudes which are the exact antithesis of the values for which Shorten stands.
People who boast about voting Labor, but who reallly do so only for the fashionable reason that Labor are not the Liberals; rather than because of a burning passion to stamp out economic and cultural inequality in society.
That is:
The Rudd-ites; the Posers and the Pretenders
You see them all the time.

What a load of bull! Wanting Labor supporters to be perfect , to be saints, martyrs to the cause.
You are the pretender in my opinion just using your pretence as way of denigrating some here. So pitifully obvious!
