they base their political platform around the working class actively working. when the working class ceases to work, for any reason whatsoever, their platform is unable to stand.
labour parties do not care about labourers only that the labour is being done.
The more I learn about the history of the Labor party, the more I feel like it's just one long fucking grift or purposeful opsec.
Literally every one of them.
Out of all the Labour parties worldwide, how did they all end up dogshit?
Workers’ parties? Cool. Socialist parties? Usually ok ish. Communist parties? Dope. Labour parties? Fuck.

I just miss Corbyn.
Most labor parties had labor union backing at some point in the past. Did the Australian one even have that?
It kinda grew out of state Labor parties after we federated, so I imagine so, but it has never really been very pro worker over capital.
It seems like the Australian LP is one of the worst of its kind
Yup, just a slightly lighter version of the liberal party, and even then they keep trying to flank the libs from the right.

Nah, anyone good would have fled to the green party, right before promptly being purged from the green party for being too left wing
Australian politics is a fucking neoliberal hellscape. They're just too ass backwards and stupid to do any real evil, leaving that to corporations.
damn, may the ocean take Australia's cities
