When you add the anti Noalition vote to the protest vote you get 60%. With the Noalition loosing their heartland, the Liberals have lost the cities and the Nationals have lost the regions, there's not much left, what is left all those supporters located in the Simpson Desert! Despite all the babble you get from some here, Labor is holding the middle ground, which to have any chance of forming government a party must hold the majority of the middle ground.

As I said a couple of weeks back, the Noalition cynically preferencing One Nation over the independent was a bad move for them. It also gave One Nation and undeserved air of legitimacy in the minds of moderate voters.

As for Fungus Taylor, he's a complete flop! With his vote for me I'm just like the Lovely Pauline and Dangerous Donald all rolled up in one.

Thanks. Many people are now more confident that there is a move back to the right; but the right is no longer the Liberal Party. Too many wets. The deputy leader is a wet. Taylor doesn't seem to know what he is. The Nationals might be able team up with One Nation. Brigette McKenzie has already said that they would be interested.

But I think that it's all over for the Liberals. Like Labor, they still have a weak leader, and also like Labor, they they don't have anyone in waiting. Their big hope, Hastie, has shown that he was all mouth and trousers, and the only other possible candidate, Senator Patterson made a fool of himself with a One Nation volunteer.

Their 11.9% of the Farrer vote, that Sussan Ley held for 25 years says a lot. There last test in SA left them with 7 seats.

As for the ISIS brides, the Labor party is lying about the inability to refuse them entry into Australia. They and the mainstream media have told the lie so many times that people now believe it.

Wet deputy leader of the wandering Liberals Jane Hume, when asked whether or not the Farrer election was a strong rejection of her party, said the bleeding obvious: they have lost trust and their humiliation after 25 years holding the electorate was a mere “disappointment”.

Asked if the Liberals had possibly lost the trust of their rapidly shrinking support base for ever, she wasn't sure. They had to “rebuild the trust”, and all the blah that the party has been spouting for the last 4 years, without doing a thing about it!

The ABC, horrified by the result, banged on about the Farrer result “legitimising” One Nation. Shock! Horror!.

And, of course, the ABC reminded us how “racist” and “bigoted” One Nation is. The standard leftist response to losing.

“Populism (that misused, misunderstood word again”) led by a ‘long term racist’”, screamed the Sydney Morning Herald. And, someone how evil foreigners(!) were involved.

The left loves foreigners and imports thousands of them to keep themselves in power. But these foreigners, whoever they were - if they existed at all - were not pleasing to the Leftist scribbler responsible for the SMH vomit.

Loss certainly unhinges the Left.

The Libs and Nats got smashed because they have paid lip service to conservative voters yet repeatedly failed to deliver.

Of course, the rise of ONP has nothing to do with racism and bigotry and more to do with people who think net zero and economic policies of nations like Zimbabwe a good idea and of the centre.

I pity the poor little koalas as they didn't vote for the lunatics.

The best description of the political class, seen recently, has them as “Pusillanimous, shiftless and vacillating”. They are “obsessed with the latest focus groups”. They are “Deferential to advisors who have lamentable track records and appear to believe in nothing except the next pay cheque”. They are the “worst political class in at least a century”.

Let's hope the displeasure we are told now exists among voters on both sides of politics results in as many of the awful politicians as possible being removed at the next federal election.

There is no guarantee that One Nation will always be sweet, but they are giving us the opportunity to get rid of people who have proved over the last 30 years that they are rubbish.

Scott Heathwood, ‘Noblesse Oblige died last night’, writes that the Coalition was “finally pronounced dead” at the Farrer election.

And it's a good thing. After Howard they “caught the disease” of treating people under them as fools and peasants who couldn't be trusted to run their own lives, and treated us like idiots (Covid, net zero, Safety Commissioner, etc) who had to be forcefully “vaccinated, regulated, monitored, decarbonised, re-educated, reassured, and protected from themselves”.

In Farrer last Saturday, the dragon woke up.

All politicians need to stop helping - i.e interfering.

We now know, or should know, that the Liberal is not a party distinguishable from Labor.

The voters in Farrer knew that.
