The Perth Thread - Part 4

Did you see that article in the local paper (not The West Aus) about a forum on the 15th to discuss ways to make crossing Charles st safer/better? I personally don't and have never (even as a child) had an issue with crossing it. Don’t even get me started. Yes it’s difficult to cross and I’m...

Anyone vote for a party they hadn't heard of before they walked in?

Yep,WAxit party.Are they any good?

 

[twotooto]

Voted for the Legalise Cannabis Party. Never heard of them before. Voted early but no free samples

Christian Party last. Was line-ball between them and the Libs.

 

[Beerfish]

It was actually difficult in the sense that you can only have one last.

 

[craigos]

McGowan going the elbow bump upon arrival to the polling booths just to further ram home the message that Covid can get you anytime, anywhere.

 

[Shane Sheridan]

Animal Justice Party. I like dogs.

 

[twotooto]

Factor in One Nation and yes, it actually was difficult to decide who was last, correct.

EDIT ~ Actually, just factor in all of them = difficult = race to the bottom.

Animal Justice Party. I like dogs.

Should've voted Liberal,those dumb dogs need some love.

I went to two polling places today [for a sausage as I'd already done a postal].

At both, the same four parties were doing how-to-vote cards: Lib, Lab, Green and Christians. At both three of the four were standing up and Labor had a little trestle table and patio chair and were just chilling. Even the volunteers know how dominant tonight is going to be.

 

[Spitty_the_alpaca]

I always put the greens last

 

[gaskin]

Any place that doesn't do democracy sausages should be shut down.

Anyone else see the 'No Mandatory Vaccine Party'?

 

[craigos]

Animal Justice Party. I like dogs.

Sausage stuff only took off after Twitter and ABC News channel were created and needed something to sarcastically/lol indulge in.

That's a solid reason for not defunding the ABC...

No Mandatory Vaccination Party, One Nation and Australian Christians... decisions, decisions.

 

[Van_Dyke]

great Australia party also deserve to be in that conversation

 

[armpit]

Anyone vote for a party they hadn't heard of before they walked in?

I'll admit I did. It was something about sustainable development. I was surprised to see such a thing amongst all the other and couldn't help myself. I gave the wooden pencil back. I hope they repurpose them.

 

[Off The Couch]

1% of the vote counted and Antony Green has called it - no surprise

 

[Billy ray]

Election called at 6:43pm by Antony Green

 

[armpit]

We'll have to keep a close eye on this embiggened labor party.

 

[Plugger35]

Polls suggesting a strong swing to Labor and the McGowan government.

Massive shock.

 

[Big Cox 88]

Will there be a real opposition in WA again in the next decade? How does a party get enough swing to gain even a dozen of these seats back, let alone form government. If the senate goes Labor's way they will be pushing bills through unopposed for at least 2 terms.

 

[WCErevival]

Why did anyone even bother going against Mcgowan in Rockingham.

 

[Harry Yorkie]

Polls suggesting a strong swing to Labor and the McGowan government.

Massive shock.

It's a bloodbath

Queensland Liberals wiped Labor off the map back in 2012, won 78 of 89 seats, Premier Campbell Newman lost his seat at the next election, Labor formed minority government and have held power since. Things can and do change fast in modern politics.

After the next election, Labor will have been in power for eight years, they will be looking tired to many in the electorate. Many of the blue ribbon seats will flip back to the Libs and it will be much closer.
