Oh really? Describe please your knowledge of the underlying ideology of labor, and then lets make a comparison against communism?
Haha, mate, I think funkshen could beat you in a battle of wit and intelligence hands down, you clearly have no idea what communism is. If you were being generous you might have gotten away with labeling the labor party socialist, but that's about it

i'm sorry, but you're the one asserting that they're communists. so maybe you could explain what you mean by that first. however, to give you a bit of a teaser of how i would answer your question and a bit of wriggle room for you to work with, the underlying ideology (if any) is vaguely Fabian.

also, please answer my original question.

I have now asserted they are softcore communists, which is apparently more to everyones preference. And to answer your question about why abbott is lesser of two evils would take more time than most people have, the failures and disasters of labor are almost innumerable. If anything it'd be far easier to link you to online evidence demonstrating labor's spectacular failures, for typing up everything on a student forum would be an utter waste of time.

But as im sure you read townie's enthusiasm about how intelligent you are, I trust you need no explanation about the functioning of Google and how you can find everything yourself by typing in various phrases such as "The failures of the australian labor party" and others of the sort. With your "superior wit and intelligence" you'll have no trouble finding proof on your own, you dont need me, im just a lacklustre outcast with no practical social and world knowledge right? Yea. im so silly arent I.

lol no one really said that it was to their preference, and you still have to back up this assertion.

Also, again, please stop avoiding my question and indulge me with how the liberal party promotes independent thinking.

1. "There will be no carbon tax under the government I lead"
2. anti-457 visa
3. All the detention centre issues.
1. politicians lying is pretty symptomatic of politics in general, not just the labor party

as for 2. and 3. how so?

you still haven't answered the question or my challenge to actually substantiate your claims that they communists of any degree of soft or hardness.

And to answer your question about why abbott is lesser of two evils would take more time than most people have, the failures and disasters of labor are almost innumerable.
the coalition has historically had its fair share of disasters too, and tony abbott has committed himself to instituting a number of policies that would also be failures and disasters (to name a few: the coalition's NBN program, the coalition's asylum seeker policy, public sector recruitment freeze). i don't deny that the coalition has good policies, but i fail to discern what distinguishes kevin rudd and the labor party from the liberal party in regards to 'failures and disasters'.

If anything it'd be far easier to link you to online evidence demonstrating labor's spectacular failures, for typing up everything on a student forum would be an utter waste of time.
ok.

And as im sure you read townie's enthusiasm about how intelligent you are
thanks for the backup townie

I'm not supporting neither Liberal nor Labor.

Both have some horrible policies and lowered funding in education has already gone way too far.
You mean for universities right?

The problem is that the policies seem to be good but only in the short term - enough so they can be elected for another term. To me, that is a terrible way of thinking.
Yeah absolutely if you're talking about the promises made during an election campaign (just giving cunts money to vote for them), but you can't really say that when you consider the NBN, the Carbon Tax, Gonski reforms, the NDIS and the Paid Parental Leave scheme to name a few.

Clarify what you mean...

NBN cost blowout
Asylum seekers influx
BER rorts
Grocery watch/fuel watch

I'm not saying any of them were bad intentions by Labor although they were all poorly executed.

Labor isn't a socialist or communist party either.
