One Nation soars in poll, could hold WA balance of power
One Nation would win almost 11 per cent of the primary vote across WA if an election were held today, according to the latest poll commissioned for The Weekend West.
The results of the Reach-TEL poll, conducted on Thursday night, mean Pauline Hansons resurgent party is on track to hold the balance of power in State Parliaments Upper House.
But a double-digit share of the vote not seen in WA since 2001 when One Nation claimed three Upper House seats could also deliver a surprise win in at least one Lower House seat on March 11, if One Nations primary vote continues to climb during the election campaign.
The support for the Hanson party will concern the Nationals and comes at a cost to the primary vote for the Labor and Liberal parties, despite the chaos created by the removal of former One Nation WA senator Rod Culleton this week.

Not the ones full of pompous self righteous folk hey 
( WA & QLD make up almost a third of Australias population )
But then again.....
Support for Pauline Hansons One Nation party has risen fourfold across the nation since the election and almost doubled to 10 per cent in Queensland, Newspoll shows

Nearly a third? The rest of Australia needs the left hand side of the bell curve to be represented & some folk in WA & QLD who support One Notion do the job admirably.

The far-right are having a moment everywhere, seemingly, but I don't see any reason to believe One Nation will be around for any longer than they were last time around. Already the federal party are looking about as coherent and unified as the Palmer United mob were. Sometimes you can only get by on so much bad will.

The far right (Alt-R)has risen in profile as a natural counter balance to the SJW's on the far left.
Neither are reflective of the majority, who think both groups are whack jobs.

Remember 1987.
Truck drivers, tradies, and other God's gifts to small business had Joh for Canberra stickers all over their trucks as the old tyrant's juggernaut rolled on towards victory. It was the darkest hour Australia faced since the bombing of Darwin. Howard and Sinclair for once in their worthless lives refused to play ball with the rancid old fascist and the movement fizzled out.
Australia has had it's fair share of populist fascism, particularly in Queensland where the old tyrant ruled for 27 years, with a bit of help from the electoral system. Anyone who lived in Joh's Queensland during those years with it's faux "freedom" and still supports the current rise of the rednecks needs their head read. God it was boring! God it was paranoid.
Populist fascism, unlike bolshie revolutions, is just that, populist. Their promises are crap but like all those old timers buying scratchie tickets, people want to believe. Even you know who was popularly elected.
As long as you have 14 year olds playing at being adults, you will have populist fascism. The rest of us, righties and lefties, should be vigilant. |
