Yeah, not sure why he's in the Labor Party and takes its whip if that's his stance.

Lol my vote wasn’t decisive. In any case, this is probably poorly thought out, but whatever. Also I don’t care enough about this game to be whipped, I have better things to do with my life. Also I seem to live rent-free in your head, perhaps this vote is a betrayal of my neoliberal principles, but I look forward to your vote to repeal all protective tariffs, oh wait….. Let’s also consider that many of the Third Way figures in history, such as Tony Blair and Francois Hollande did preside over somewhat redistributive governments. Left wing economics is not inconsistent with support for the market. Since this has passed, now the goal has to be to lower operating costs so that businesses can make the same amount of profit, the best way to do this is to lower the price of goods, so I look forward to your support for ending protective tariffs and promoting outsourcing. If you can’t support that, then you frankly, have no leg to stand on.

The notion that I need to support neoliberalism to criticize you, a whipped neoliberal, doesn't make sense.

You still haven’t answered the question. Do you support trade liberalization to lower operating costs?

I don't know how we got to talking about me but I'm sort of neutral at this point...not as protectionist as I used to be. I don't like outsourcing but I don't really have a problem with free trade among us and our allies.

Who knows, your stance might more in line with the Labor Party than S019's.

Ideologically, I could still be a conservative Laborite but I don't like how that party operates.

If that is your opinion you should support this bill already on the floor that does what you claim you want.
