Brown likes to pretend that his party, the Greens, represent some form of new politics.  They claim to stand on principle.  In reality, they stand for themselves.  There’s nothing wrong with that, but don’t try to con voters otherwise. Like the Christian crusader who gets outed visiting brothels, the holier than thou political change agent who strikes the same old political deals deserves our scorn.  penberthyd@newsltd.com.au (David Penberthy) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/preference-deal-paints-the-greens-as-a-pack-of-frauds/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/preference-deal-paints-the-greens-as-a-pack-of-frauds/#item3588 Sat, 26 May 2012 20:00:49 +0000 M30o93H7pQ09L8X1t49cHY01Z5j4TT91fGfr
