I get where you're coming from, but a lot of these minor parties are essentially one person with a profile and a couple of puppets. Fred Nile is the CDP, at least in NSW. So it's less about dismissing an 'entire group', and more about accurately profiling a couple of nutters.I can feel the gears grinding from here.
My point isn't really about what I believe per se, it's more that dismissing an entire group as 'loopy' (or some equivalent) should be done with the utmost caution, especially when you're someone who's capable of reasoned debate, unlike a couple of the hyenas above.
I mean I am sure there are very sane people who vote for the CDP for a variety of reasons (heck, the word "Christian" alone is always good for a few votes from people who've never looked at your platform), but we are talking about the people who are going to be sitting in the legislature - and they are certifiably loopy.
