When Left sides with Right, it goes wrong

THE hard Left like to pretend they’re fighting the Right. In fact the only thing they ever damage is their own supposed side. This is because radicals are actually programmed to fight progress.

No step in the right direction can ever be tolerated because it weakens their cause.

After all, you can’t be a revolutionary if there is nothing to revolt against.

Just take a look at the Greens. Across the past week alone we’ve seen the most embarrassing displays and ridiculous claims from their First Nations spokeswoman Lidia Thorpe, who is almost single-handedly derailing the campaign for an Indigenous Voice to parliament from the Left.

The voice could be the most significant step forward to improving outcomes for Aboriginal people in this country since 1788, but Thorpe wants to blow it up because it doesn’t fit her extremist narrative of “war” and “treaty”.

Thorpe even signed on to a push by anti-Voice Coalition figures to investigate Indigenous bodies throughout the Voice campaign before being forced to withdraw by Greens leader Adam Bandt and blaming it on an “administrative error”.

Seriously.

And this is no stitch up by Sky News or this august masthead. This was exposed by the Guardian.

When even the Turnbull Times reckons a lefty has gone a bit offpiste, you know it’s time to start battening down the hatches in the Kremlin.

Yet as much as the Greens might be trying to shut Thorpe down, they can’t. They made her.

They promoted and preselected her.

And she is in fact their perfect representative.

She just doesn’t have the guile to hide her true colours.

After all, the Greens have a habit of siding with the Right to destroy progress.

It’s almost like it’s part of their manifesto.

It was only a little over a decade ago that the Greens again aligned themselves with the Coalition to vote down the Rudd government’s emissions trading scheme – for which Labor had a full electoral mandate.

They then forced Julia Gillard to sign on to their preferred unmandated carbon tax, too clueless to realise they were forcing her to sign her political suicide note.

Thus the Greens managed to kill off the ETS and Australia’s first female prime minister in one fell swoop.

What champions of progress they are.

Perhaps we should call them chumpions.

As Paul Keating once said about Winston Churchill, he got almost everything wrong but the one thing he got right outweighed them all.

These people are more dangerous than lemmings with friends.
