Radar, principle gets nowhere if you play by the rules. You have to work within the system to change it, and if that means getting campaign contributions to get elected, then that's what you have to do. Calling on a sense of principles will energise a base, but if you can't afford to get the message out past that base, you're not going to get anywhere. The important thing is to remember your principles if you do get elected.

I think it would be a good idea to see Greens and Libs work together on the issues that they concur on. It would provide a good counter to the 2 party system. They can retain their individual parties, but form a coalition when their interests converge.
