How do you explain one nation which is about as far right wing as you can get rapidly rising in popularity
Or is it another beat up BS story like the 15-30B of our tax payers money going to illegal activities, which as it cant be verified to your liking is now dismissed ?
DJC these are the times when you keep defending and refuse to admit any wrong doing that you lose credibility to me as its obvious your comments are not coming from a balanced view of the situation. Majority of us have a political side we support but most can also call a spade a spade too.
Oh well we shall all see in the upcoming elections what the people think.
Where is most of the One Nation 'vote' coming from?
I suspect it's mostly a drift from the Coalition.
The LNP have a bit of a task because they have to pull that vote back, but they can't afford a drift too far to the right because they then lose that moderate vote in the middle where the next election will actually be decided.
Its too big a swing to be only from coalition supporters Lods.
The idea that people would vote for a policy-less, clueless, pig ignorant racist as an expression of dissatisfaction with the major parties is laughable. If you don't think any of them are worth a vote, then you should stand on principle, wear a very modest financial penalty and not vote at all. Why would you replace one pile of trash with an even bigger pile, just to send a message, or stick to individuals or groups you don't like ?

One Nation enjoys a measure of support at the moment because of the turmoil in both the Coalition parties.
That will drift away pretty quickly.
It's probably already started...watch the polls.
You'll probably find a lot of those people who are saying they're voting 'One Nation' are doing it as a bit of a protest at the state of coalition parties
One Nation might have some minor impact in the State election in SA I suspect it will be mostly gone by the time the Victorian election comes around
Hanson has had some strange bedfellows along the way but they never last.
The latest with Barnaby will go the same way.
They lack the political nous and organisation and are too different to successfully mount a co-ordinated challenge in lower houses.
Their upper house seats often turn independent as disagreements arise with party leadership and direction.
I also see it in some respects as a bit of a leaning to the politics in America.
"Make Australia Great Again".
It was successful there...why not here?
The problem is, that 'bus' in the USA is gradually, but surely, losing its wheels and some just haven't caught up with the fact that it's a 'slippery slide' route to chaos that we really don't want to take.
