Election 2022 (Poll added)

[Professer E]

Talking about shameless, the weekend Australian, so-called "journalism"

[LP]

So it's pretty much confirmed, hardly a policy discussed, and debate voted on by sledging, innuendo and shouts, more like an episode of MAFS than a discussion to find someone worthy of being elected. The race to the bottom of the barrel.

This is a huge problem for all of us, because the major parties have become so so bad the big winners are undoubtedly going to be the Nuffies!

Crucial errors made by both of them.  The next few years will be chaos with largely unrepresented swill.  Only then will people wake up into whose hands they've played.

Uninspiring choices have been a common theme in Australian elections for some years. I reckon we've just about reached the bottom of the barrel.

Doubt we've reached the bottom of it yet, we are trending down at a fast rate of knots with respect to Poli IQ so the future looks ever more bleak if you ask me. As George Constanza once said:
Jerry: You have no idea what an idiot is. Elaine just gave me a chance to get out and I didn't take it. This (pointing to himself) is an idiot.
George: Is that right? I just threw away a lifetime of guilt-free sex, and floor seats for every sporting event in Madison Square Garden. So please, a little respect, for I am Costanza, Lord of the Idiots.
Roxanne: (Yelling out the window) You're all winners!
George: But suddenly, a new contender has emerged.

And, much to my dismay, it'll come down to preferences imo

My favourite Seinfeld moment )

I'm just wondering whether it's an election worth winning.
The winner is probably going to be faced with forming a minority government in what promises to be a difficult and traumatic couple of years.
It might not be the best time to be in government.

Good points....fair chance there will be a recession with rising inflation numbers and interest rates rising here and in the USA.
The USA are seeing an inverted Bond Yield in relation to 10 year treasury bonds and that usually signifies a recession which will have a flow on effect down here in Australia.
Demand has dropped in China and the Ukraine war has shoved up oil prices so business is going to find it tougher and any government is going to find it harder to deliver on election promises and handle the huge debts the country has after the pandemic.
Having the loony factions like the Greens, Clive/Craig and Pauline holding the balance of power if we get a minority Government would make its a nightmare to operate and give them all their payoff requests....you add to the fact that Albo the likely winner and his treasurer elect in Jim Chalmers are economically inexperienced it doesnt bode well..

Clive Palmer has spent untold millions of dollars in advertising over the past few months telling his mentally deficient supporters of the peril to their beloved freedoms if they vote for either the government or the opposition.

Now I hear he is telling them to direct their preferences to the government in tightly contested seats.

He is a shining example of a hypocrite.

[Mav]

The hypocrites would be the Liberals. Bogging on about how the Teal independents are supposedly secret Labor or Green candidates while Palmer has spent the last 2 elections helping out the Liberals, but of course he's independent of them. The UAP is just a sham vote harvesting and advertising arm of the Coalition.
