Random Note #184,871 — The plebiscite as a political weapon to beat Labor/Greens alliance

Just how dumb are Labor and the Greens? By standing against the ultimate expression of democracy, a plebiscite on SSM, they are forging and crafting and handing to the Coalition the weapon with which they will be bludgeoned at the next election, if the coalition is smart enough. That it, not allowing the people to express their view on such a bedrock social issue at the ballot box) Having said that, we may well wonder whether Turnbull is just as timid and dumb and won’t use the gift to batter his opponents as standing against democracy, just as he didn’t have either the wit, the political nouse or skill, to use the dirt on Shorten and Labor as revealed at the Union Royal Commission at the last election.
