Demise of the Democrats

Stott-Despoja and ChippI can’t say I’ve shed any tears at the demise of the Australian Democrats.

They were political prostitutes who never had to concern themselves with the responsibility of government.

That said, they appear rational and businesslike compared with the senate successors The Greens.

The Democrats gave us some characters like Don Chipp and the feisty Janine Haines. Natasha Stott-Despoya was pretty good looking too.

But there’s not much to lament about their political passing except the rise of an extreme left-wing alternative.
