Should I Quit the Liberal Party of Australia?
I’m not a member of the Liberal party, but I have noticed the same thing you have with the different factions and wildly different ideas. Surely there has to be some “middle ground” like you suggested. I just wonder if, for your membership, how much say would you get in the direction of the party? Indeed I believe they are heading for defeat in the next election because of this very issue, but I would be very concerned if Labor got another term to mess things up, particularly with a new left wing leader now. I can’t really tell you if you should renew your membership, and I haven’t had much personal experience in political membership myself. But I would do whatever I could to change the direction of the party as quickly as possible, talk to people, send emails and approach other members with your concerns. I have noticed that it looks like Gillard could call an early election!
