United Australia Party – UAP Anthem (2022 Election Song

As I said on DB’s blog, whichever party ‘wins’ this election, the Australian people lose.

Is the Elbo connected to the (Peris) Kneebone?

Ball point pen working.👍
Pencils should be illegal. I do not trust the AEC in any way shape or form.
Time to go vote.

I like Pauline Hanson and I hope she wins her Senate seat and that One Nation picks other seats, too.
But there is a side to her, I don’t like. While the other freedom-friendly parties included One Nation as a party in their group of freedom parties, she doesn’t do the same. In her ad campaigns she ridiculed Clive and Craig along with the majors. Has UAP done the same to her?
Now her election prediction:
Was this necessary, Pauline?

You cannot make this sh*t up. Big ques at the polling station. Zippo – zero – zilch social distancing…that’s ok, it BS anyway. About one in twenty still wearing face nappies.
I finally get in and get a line through my name. Then I have to wait for a booth. Oh, previous to that, I was offered a pencil from AEC staff. I had my pen handy.
Me: Pencils should be illegal I say to AEC.
AEC staff: [ Silence ]
Me: Excuse me AEC staff, why are there booths with orange tap around them?
AEC staff: Social distancing, she said.
Me: You might want to look around in this room ( no SD being practiced ). I then added, so you set up these booths up just to tape them off and not use them?
AEC person: [ No answer, just a smile ]
With my vote completed, I then proceed to place the ballots in the appropriate boxes.
Me to AEC staff behind the ballot boxes: “Where is the lock on that box?”
AEC staff: [ No response, no smile ]
AAAAAAAAmazing.

One party will ‘win’. It is the how that is important. If it is with a landslide, it will be a definite loss for the sane section of the Australian people who did not vote for that party.
If it is a hung parliament and the freedom-friendly parties win enough seats to hold the balance of power, then it will be a win for the people.

Anthony Green says voting so far not reflecting this morning’s opinion polls.
Report comment
What did the morning polls say?
Report comment
I wonder what time we get an idea of the senate voting?
Report comment
Green says Greens taking votes from both major parties.
Could be a big night for the Greens.
Good grief.

SKY News coverage saying at the outset that Scummo is personally unpopular in all of the Capital cities, less so in the Regionals as a matter-of-fact.
Joe Public sees right through Scotty-from-Marketing?
It’ll be interesting to see the LNP dirty linen should he lose, crunt!

I am watching the Freedom Speaks coverage. Greens and Teals are doing well.

Good luck to Cardimona

Right now, it isn’t looking good for the LNP.
Scotty will be responsible for the loss.
But the rot has been setting in for years. There is a good analysis on this Good Sauce channel.

Richo reckons Labor will win by one seat: 77-76.

Labor will form a minority government with support of
Independents and Greens.
Let’s hope the Senate has some freedom lovers.

Pauline will get in.
What about Senate in other states?
Report comment
One seat on their own or with support of Greens and Teals.
Report comment
Looks like the Labor-Greens-Teals combo will get it in both houses.
Not good.

Yeah, thought I would check after I posted that.
Oh well. Looks like Albows Dentures will be in the lodge, just in time for the recession. I for one won’t be looking forward to selling my arse on the streets

‘Bloodbath’: Horror prediction for ScoMo
Report comment
Barnaby, blame yourself and the LNP.
If the Coalition had been true to the Conservative values, it would not have been easy for the teals or greens or lefties to get in.
Barnaby Joyce slams ‘teal’ independents, calls them ‘selfish’

I’m hoping Labor won’t get the majority as it will mean the economic management will be even more destructive.
A hyper-inflationary depression.
Report comment
Analysis being offered on the channel.
If LNP loses, Scotty cannot remain as leader.
Josh Frydenberg has lost his seat.
So only other option is Peter Dutton if he hold his seat.
Gerard Rennick and Alex Antic are senators. Otherwise, one of them would have been good.
Report comment
It will be terrible. Especially, if they have to form government with Greens and Teals.
What is the alternative? The LNP has lost its way.
How did they get to this situation?
Report comment
I’ve switched off that ABC coverage now.
Anthony Green is still believing he is delivering important breaking news by saying the Coalition government cannot form government.
We knew that a fvcking hour ago.

Albow is what this country deserves. A leader that actually spits on the people.
Griffith going to the Greens +11 swing. Krudd responds “what this actually shows is a worldwide repudiation of the murdoch press”
Report comment
mh, I’m watching the Freedom Speaks coverage because it is less depressing. At least, it feels like we are all on the same side – the panel and guests are true Conservatives and speaking sense.
Report comment
We are heading for rough economic times anyway.
All of the western world is.
Inflation is everywhere and it’s not transitory.
Most of the major indexes in the US are now reaching bear market territory.
It’s going to be rough for Albo.

I was hoping for one UAP senate seat.

It is this broad Liberal church that got broader trying to accommodate “progressives”/moderates who are actually lefties. They moved away from their base in an attempt to grab a share of the left vote.

Biden, Boris, Macron, Trudeau, Ardern …
Scotty fit in with them.
So will Albo.

Surprised to see Craig Kelly do so bad. I guess his electorate loves getting jabbed
Report comment
Yes, that too. The Dan Crenshaw’s that pick a side because the other one is on the nose.
Report comment
I had wondered what Craig Kelly’s chances were.
It seems the majority of voters feel a safety in voting for a “major” party rather than look at the candidate you have previously voted for, examine what that person stood for and did, and vote for that candidate again.

A really sad outcome for the freedom parties.

As Neil says:
We have to rebel. We have to refuse to play along. But that will only be possible if all freedom parties and its supporters can unite and fight back.
