New Democrats Leader (1 Viewer)

On NBN they reported that Andrew Bartlett has been stood down and replaced by Lyn Alison. I've actually never heard of this Senator.

Thoughts on the new leadership?

He stepped down to deputy, he wasn't stood down.

Yet to be confirmed, but given the list of nominations...

It says that this Lyn Alison was the only one to nominate for the position, so one would assume she has it.

I thought that my final line dealt with that point.

Natasha... There is seems to be an element of truth in the claim that she may be the only Democrat who will survive the next Senate election, so she may well return, one day.

Not again! The Democrats, while I like their policies that I know about, are dogged with leadership issues. They're too busy backstabbing each other to win seats. This will just reinforce that perception. I've heard people say of the Democrats that 'the trouble with voting for the Democrats is that you don't know if you're voting for a sane one, or a crazy one.'

I just hope their use their $8 000 grant for the number of votes they got wisely. Might I suggest forming a new party?
