I'd like politicians and their parties to be accountable to their election platform, but life doesn't work that way.So you are a stickler for caucus rules, but not the Labor National Platform?
Which of those influenced your vote?
ALP solidarity is a good thing as far as I'm concerned. Penny Wong voted against gay marriage - voting against your own interests or values is sometimes necessary as part of the bigger picture. If Payman thought that would be a problem, she shouldn't have joined the ALP.
