How do you feel about the importance of local vs global priorities in shaping political agendas?

Independents have a very important role to play, along with minor parties such as The Greens, to hold the balance of power and collaborate with the government in power to achieve better outcomes locally and globally. There does not seem to be much collaborating between Labor and The Greens, which is disappointing and self defeating. The LNP just wants to ruin everything that Labor tries and Labor is trying to blame The Greens for everything, which is a vicious cycle of retardation. Until Labor stops hating on The Greens and The Greens make healthy compromises, there is a dire political landscape ahead of us. If the LNP dissolved it's coalition with The National Party, Australia would be a better place. The 2 party system is failing because our needs as a nation are more complex than "left versus right".
