Conservatives can't help but interfere (despite their "non interference and minimal government ideology).
BOF seems like a good guy, but all the religious conservative fuckwits who try let run on the assumption that they wouldn't win, will now have a power block to get BOF to pass some strange xstian rules to govern our state.
Even BOF will be happy when the first term is up and most of these new mps loose their seats and he is left with a core of professional mps to run the state with and not these "I'll out my hat in the ring" mps who have just been elected.
Our Coogee man will have a rough time in the party room having to smile and try to get along with the loons who have no idea.
I like to classic liberal ideology of minimal interference and just let people work it out for themselves. But the current liberal party - both state and even more so federally - have been infiltrated by people who DO want to interfere with peoples lives and impose their religious morals on everyone.
That's the part I will find interesting more so than late trains and bad roads (they are just annoying).
Its the same story with Labor. In NSW there was the Catholic Day(not youth as they claimed) and passed laws that were deemed as unconstitutional.
Labor also has lots of religious weirdos, particularly amongst the ethnic members from Middle Eastern origins. Just look at Labor heartlands like Lakemba, Canterbury, Bankstown and Fairfield. There arent any pro-secular pro-gay vibes there.
