Democrats 1990 Federal Election ad

[kalslater]

We all need to vote Democrats in 2013 to bring them back!

[stegatops]

Yes.........by far the best Democrats leader ever............back in a time where they actually meant something...........before the dark times. Like everything else in life, they were a victim of their own early success.........suddenly everyone wanted a slice of the pie.............eventually infighting destroyed the party. Dont just blame NSD or Meg Lees..........it was a group effort. Like the old expression goes............"TEAMWORK: share the victories..........share the defeats!"

perhaps the worst election broadcast ever? I'm from the UK and I didn't even know Australia a Democrat party lol. Just thought you guys had to suffer the two party system like we do.

[MassiveJungle]

they weren't ever a proper third party in the sense that they didn't ultimately have ambitions of forming government. Their intended goal was to 'keep the bastards honest' - the bastards in the house of reps - the government and the opposition

[RogetKing]

yes so I see mate, just been on thier website. Seem a bloody decent bunch, I'd vote for em.

[TheLoadedDog]

The Demo.... who? ;)

[fourteenbellbirds]

Oh Janine, Janine - it all went downhill for the Dem's after you left. Maybe if you had won Kingston, things would have been a little different? Your'e in a good place with Don, somewhere, I'm sure. RIP

I thought they went totally to shit after Natasha Stott-Despoja took over from Meg Lees.

Meg Lees was not attractive, but she was a good leader.

Stott-Despoja didn't understand her role, and destroyed a productive political party.

[mathewdeering]

No, Meg Lees started the rot.

Cheryl Kernot was where it was at.

That's why she got poached.

I love Janine Haines!
