There is a major problem with the Opposition and that is that they are lazy, apathetic and astoundingly arrogant in Opposition. Trying to get a simple response from Springborg's team is amazingly hard and when you push the matter, they just ignore you in return. What a way to campaign for government.
Another issue is that the Opposition don't criticise many of the problems of QLD Labor with policy. Probably because under Springborg, they two have become mirrored in unpoplar in policy such as the housing of child sex offenders nearby schools and playgrounds.
The Courier Mail has been telling the Opposition what to campaign on for how many months now and they still can't pick it up?
I have no confidence with either side.

I find it difficult to support either party.
I think that the ALP has been there for too long and is incompetent.
On the other hand the so-called LNP would be an embarrassment to Qld were they to gain power. Imagine Springborg as Premier!! No thanks.

I cannot see how any clear thinking Queenslander can possible vote for Bligh and her labour party she is still making promises that Beatie made before the last election and the one before that and delivered nothing (sounds something like "i will go the full term")trust is all gone she thinks voters are fools, you can also see that she is carrying around her neck too much 'Greens' baggage and has a treasurer that does'nt know anything about the state economy.

Despair & Agony
Now, why in the middle of a downturn would Bligh(t) try to handout $60m for yet another bloody football stadium?
Really! I arkst youse.... where was that $60m when the local schools were looking for a couple of thousand for a new fridge, or for a minibus, or the janitors new ute?
Why do we have to keep falling back on these crass bribes at election time?
What would happen if we all voted for the candidates who thought they were on a suicide mission?
Would that be any worse? Would the brainpower in parliament diminish at all?
(Not Pauline though- she doesn't really want to get in, just pick up the funding).
No fellow electors... put aside your habits of a lifetime, avoid the LNP and ALP, vote for the nuttiest independent on your list and exhaust the vote there... or Green of course, just to see how they'd manage to handle the excessive damage wrought by our global system of capital.
Let's have a voter led revolution.... unseat the timeservers... trash their expectations.... dismantle the system... vote for the unexpected.

The only way a public can protest against an incompetent goverment and a weak opposition is to vote for a minority party or independent. The only way to strengthen government is to make them work. Hung parliaments do this.

We have nothing to lose by voting for Springborg. Labor has had 11 years to fix up our Health system. What about Patel and the cost to send him to America first class? and then to bring him back? Have you all forgotten?
