With one exception, as far as I am aware every single digger that I've ever worked with who I am aware was a member of IFA had merely joined because they thought it would help them get a job (ha ha!) and had no interest whatsoever with the policies/politics/whatever and certainly wouldn't have bothered going to the effort of voting for anything. Most of them had long since realised that it was a total waste of money. From the posts on here it's clear that there are, in fact, a few politicised digger-IFA members (concede that), but precious few, it's always the same two or three individuals posting. Most couldn't give a t**s and are mainly interested in getting the h**l out and saving those precious beer-tokens for something more useful
Oh yes, as observed above, you're an excellent stir-target, keep it up, amazed how this thread has livened up :face-approve:
