The ABC can reveal the results of YouGov's latest MRP model, which finds the Peter Dutton-led Coalition would be likely to win about 73 seats if an election was held today.
Hmm, mediscare did work though, the threat of privatising energybin WA tends to go down well also. But I’m not sure i can think of an example where it has failed. Have you got an example?
Also its not the politics i’d like, thats for sure.
not specific to australia - i think that “not the other guy” works a lot better for right-leaning parties than left-leaning (or, rather, less right-leaning) parties partly because conservatives campaign on fear, progressives campaign on hope and change. there’s no hope in “that guy sucks and i’m at least not that”
to win on hope and change you need to provide actual policies. to win on fear you only need to tear the other side down; eventually the populace will always get frustrated with the current government, and fear (or, rather, just “a change”) will win just because it’s “not this”
So what your saying is Labor, and other parties/independents need to hook Australians on this fantastic new drug called hopium. ;) maybe…
It is in short supply around the world at the moment, that should change.
If theres one good thing about the US turning in on itself, it’ll mean more space for Australians to spread our own cultural, mechanical, industrial, military and many other wings again. Maybe jot be so focused on our “comparative advantages” in the “global market”. Theres potentially a lot of hope in projects of that nature.
The world mightn’t be in the right place for a message reliant on hope, maybe your right Australians might be. I think even our most regressive individuals are in a different, more detached place from their erstwhile peers in other countries.
idk that sounds a lot like a “not the other guy” campaign, and i think we’ve pretty conclusively proven that doesn’t work for us
sure, dutton is unlikeable and that should be pointed out at every turn, but as a a contrast to your good policy
