The time has come to join in.
Weekly meetings and so forth.
The GLRL lost me on the whole push towards relationship recognition when there are so many singles who arguably have it tougher. Uni lost me when i graduated. Impromptu activism became a little tricky with full time work and masters.
Weasel and i have talked this one over for some time and the Greens were looking like the likely lasses however my certainty levels are suffering a little and i must ponder it some more.
Greens
Pros
Politically rather close to where i'm at (or would like to be at)
Little chance of getting in office and therefore ability to remain idealistic/the conscience of parliament
Maybe important one day for BOP/swing
Membership for concession = 8$
Cons
Some dodgy deals in the past
Hippies (yes, this does actually bother me)
ALP
Pros
Relatively politically powerful
Organised
Less likelihood of hippies
If age brings a little conservatism will still probably fit in the ALP
Cons
Some well dodgy deals/policies incl. uranium, anti gay marriage, anti USU
Joining fee = 10$ concession + 20$ annual membership
Other options:
One Nation
Pros
No known dress code
Cons
Everything Else
The Australian Democrats
Pros
A party which endorses double-barreled surnames
Sounds like an American party
Cons
Excessive use of yellow, orange and green
Irrelevant
It seems too painfully humorous to suggest the Liberals. What's a girl to do?

You're contemplating the Labor party???
Oh dear. There are so many things I could say about that, but none that I will in the public domain.
I'm just not the worlds greatest fan of dreadlocks.
Does this mean you won't be my friend if i join thge ALP? I hear reform is very "in" this season...
Of course not... but you've been so steadfast so long... it would be a sad loss.
I understand about dreadlocks (I am in favour of a ban), but the last greens meeting I went to was completely sans dreadlocks... the NSW greens are the 'red greens' apparently.
Oooh, red? I think i could work that. And i'm not lost yet..
