Great this is why the greens are a waste of spaceI want to see if they can still lay claim to being the party of choice for progressive Australia.
The great compromise is not should be the party of choice for progressive Australia, but to be the party of choice to govern. I posted a link to the article of the left ALP candidate who is standing against Bandt recently , she said basically if you want marriage equality, a degree of carbon pricing etc etc you are only going to get that by voting ALP, not by voting green.
THe ALP has to have a policy platform that will get it elected, it can not do this without compromise. With Albo Pibersek etc like you trying to win back the Greens or the Progressive vote they will not win the election.
