Swing to ALP in the south of QLD and a swing to LNP in the north. An overall swing to ALP and they will likely be re-elected.

One Nation’s vote has collapsed.

Looks like One Nation Votes were down a massive 7% and were shared between the two major parties.

Mudguts Palmer spent a zillion dollars on advertising and his party only got 0.6% of the vote.
That’s not the point. If you go by the last Federal Election, his modus operandi was to steal steal votes from the fringe dwellers and give preferences to Scotty. The $83 million in ads smeared labor in a way that the LNP could never do. It’s stealth bomber politics.

Nek minute Scotty wins the unwinnable election.

Maybe merkins saw through that this time or QLDers were so rock solid behind the lockdown that Clive’s jedi moves fell on deaf ears.

I understand his ‘strategy’ at the Federal election, although I think it is vastly overstated. It was only ‘unwinnable’ to people who weren’t close to what was happening in regional Queensland.

Federal labour kicked enough ‘own goals’ to lose that one without Clive’s assistance.

I actually think he's funny, although I don't always agree with what he says.
He does have a sense of humour. You only have to look at the Twisted Sister case that’s before the courts now.

He also knows that you can throw a shit tonne of cash at something vexatiously andmake it go away or at least make it so complicated that merkins give up. Same as the Donald.

Surely none of these suuposed fringe dwellers would have been likely to vote in a way to preference labor anyway if they are ok with voting for clive ffs

This qld election just turned into a covid border closure shit fight, so it probably makes sense other parties got little traction.... the north which is likely more tourism operater dependent than the south went with LNP , the south which probably has more lapping up covid holidays put their 2 heads behind the wicked witch

Most merkins love lockdowns if they don't get hit in the wallet. And thanks to JobKeeper or whatever the f**k it's called these days, most lockdown lovers aren't yet suffering financially. Therefore they're not yet looking for politicians to blame.

Only watched 5 minutes of this but this guy has Trump ahead in the important states. First time I've seen that.


There's a bit about, listening to him they're in the "quiet Trumper" camp, That basically means they are allowing for in their methodology that a percentage of their respondents are going to vote for Trump, but when asked about it will tell you otherwise, so weight their results accordingly.

They mention Trafalgar, who's also a big supporter and promoter of this idea, and used it to pick the 2016 result.

Personally I think it's a crock of shit born of the rights growing tendency to publicly play the victim over the culture wars.

There is no point providing you with evidence and arguments because you’ll believe anything Trump tells you to.

That’s fine and that’s your prerogative, but what you think is true is almost certainly not. With so much bullshit flying around from all sides I’m suspicious of anyone who is so certain about one side of the debate.

Mate there is no EVIDENCE.

You aren't some world renown mega sleuth that can unravel the enigma that is Trump and point to anything that he has done that is ILEGAL and shame all the US deep State Intelligence agencies with your super powers. It just isn't there. If you can't own up to that then you aren't being moderate at all, but just one of those left wing Trump hating nutters you pretend to hate and ridicule.

Looks like I can see Trumps flaws, which aren't illegal, but all you see is illegal corruption like Phantoms or Ghosts that seem to be haunting you and all the other nutters in the world.

Talk about fringe bias. I am open to prosecuting and jailing any Government official including any President(including Trump) IF it can be proven that he has done something wrong. In fact I have said if a crime is committed by any person in a position of power no matter what sphere of society, Doctors, Priests, Lawyers, CEO's, Politicians etc., their sentence should be double if not triple what a regular citizen would normally get, not less as is the case for most of them now. They are in a position of power over a usually helpless, weak, desperate or uninformed group in society that have allowed them to gain those positions for the betterment of whichever group of society they are meant to represent. Not to take advantage of them and ingratiate themselves. They have a fiduciary duty that they have betrayed.

Anyway, for your own sake mate try to adjust your extreme left point of view and maybe come a little more to the centre left like most of society, then maybe you will realise that the sky isn't falling under the Trump administration and things until the COVID-19 crap hit the world were pretty rosie and as good as they have ever been for a hell of a long time. You may then also realise that you feel much happier about most thing in life too.

Just a thought mate.

Whether or not they're actually victims, if you believe they see themselves as victims (and it appears you do) then it's not a crock of shit that quiet Trumpers would be a real thing.

Why will shit hit the fan ? Because Biden is a old guy and people didn’t know that or because Harris is not who she appears ?

Because if a sitting President has to stand down because of all the type of alleged corruption that is being unearthed right now, makes Water Gate look legal, then millions of peoples fragile dream state will be broken and not trust any of them. Especially someone that Biden has hand picked as his running mate. What does that say for her at the very least?

Depending of the level of alleged corruption that is exposed and he is charged with, people may just say we can't have anyone holding office that he has endorsed. NO FREAKIN WAY!! Right?

Criminals generally bring other criminals into their gang, right? They don't bring the town priest in to it, not unless he is a pedo that is.
