I wouldn't have thought that "thinking" is an activity particularly characteristic of Hanson supporters.

TBC,
The thinkers have learned from the mistakes/misdeeds by the Hitler hijackers & the result is rather more wisdom than can be claimed by fence sitting lefties.

individual,

"....the result is rather more wisdom than can be claimed by fence sitting lefties".

Please explain?

Are they sitting on the fence or are they lefties? Or were you just throwing out random combinations of labels that you consider to be derogatory, hoping that nobody would notice the contradiction?

To have to explain is always a sure indicator that the explanation is a waste of time. A fence-sitting leftie is someone who votes conservative after Labor has squandered the dough. Then, when enough has been put away by the better Government the leftie votes Labor again to their hands on more handouts. It's a historical fact.

Hanson: that was the upper house vote…

…But in the lower house I cast a vote for a representative with brains enough to advertise loudly, he would not be passing-on preferences. Bingo, he got my vote on the strength of that promise.
He came a close second, but was clipped by the local National candidate; good and honest, (wait for it) working class boy dragged up by the boot straps, if you can believe his spiel. Now, he is to my mind, either a comic or a sadist, take your pick. So in the new age, the self-proclaimed working class throw in their “lot” with Country Party and win a seat. Have I missed something more profound than just the glaring incongruous?
