Communist Alliance 2010 federal election liberal labor socialist

A hung parliament with neither the ALP nor the Coalition able to claim government in their own right. That is the result of last Saturday’s federal election as The Guardian goes to press. It is a fitting outcome for the major parties. Labor, the Liberals and the Nationals have become completely remote from the communities they claim they want to serve. Their “solutions” to the pressing concerns of the people are less and less convincing and trust that they will ever deliver on their commitments has nosedived. Their close ties to the corporate sector are plain for all to see.
