Articles are enlightening

The information articles contained in your fortnightly journal are very welcoming and enlightening.

It is obvious you do in fact, as claimed, present a viable non-partisan news medium.

Political points of view are published without fear or favour irrespective of from whence they emanated, be they from Liberal, Labor or Green devotees; or, for that matter, from any other source.

This of course affords your readers the opportunity to examine and/or comment on different and diverse points of view.

Any of my articles you have seen fit to publish were generally slanted towards Liberal values and dogma together with adverse findings re Labor.

I'll explain my reasoning behind this bias.

I believe that in the scheme of things an individual's very being is imbued with a desire for independence and the freedom to pursue their own personal goals and achievements.

Therefore it seems to me that enterprise and productivity have a greater chance of success when left to the individual who is governed by these innate desires.

Hence my reasoning for my proclivity for Liberal rule and, at the same time, adopting the right degree of socialism.

On the other hand Labor is deeply steeped towards socialism without sufficient regard for the inherent and natural traits of the individual.

In a nutshell: Liberal philosophy-dogma tends to cater for the innate and natural talent of the individual and private enterprise; whereas Labor relies on governments interferences, influence, rules and regulations without sufficient belief in the aptitude of the individual.

It is worth remembering Labor has not, in the last 70 years or so, left an incoming government with a surplus; deficits have been more their legacy.
