ALP loses more ground
I have previously written about my growing disenchantment with Mark Latham’s leadership of the ALP. I now discover that he has watered down one of the policy decisions that I had been pleased with—as reported by ABC News. It seems that, although he’s sticking to his promise to withdraw our troops from Iraq, he is now promising the USAnians that he’ll be happy to rush off to war “if the US was the target of another major terrorist attack.” The ABC story suggests that this undertaking is intended to boost the ALP’s credentials with the United States, and that certainly seems to be a fair assessment. There is now no chance at all that I’ll vote for the ALP in the next election.
