Indy, a shorten version of the word pseudo as in "not genuine" conservatives, The nationals tend to change with the weather, becoming rampant socialists during floods, fires and famines. Reverting to arch conservatism during good times.
I seen on another thread where you wanted the dinosaur parties to outlaw the Greens. A bit to progressive for you are they?

Belly, the new parties that are doomed to failure are the personality based parties like the Palmer United Party, which is based on the "wise" thoughts of Big Clive, with his zero credibility. The other failures are the one issue parties like One Nation, big on the immigration issue, but totally lacking everywhere else. Ask the lovely Pauline something about tax, and she would look at you with the expression of a stunned mullet.

How does a newbie get established and become successful? Easy, mass appeal. Nah! a new party firstly needs money to kick off with, generous benefactors, and 500 interested bods signed up will get you up and running. Also a couple of high profile supporters will help. But it wont get you onto the government benches.
Government benches require mass appeal with well though out broad based policies. the stunned mullet approach to policy like the lovely Pauline wont cut it . A cohesive democratic party structure is a must. The grass roots membership have to be totally involved in policy and the internal decision making process, not the Big Clive one man band approach. The rest is easy and not worth worrying about

Paul it will upset some but the current third force is your Greens
No existing group can make it.
Tonight ScoMo gets hurt, he knows his right, while he is subservient to them, is harming the government.
No growth for the right, they however like Trumps America, try as they have for near two decades, to pick only right candidates for every seat.
ScoMo in the next two months, will show he understands some policies enforced by his right, are on the nose.
Watch a he closes offshore detention camps, hear the screams when it becomes clear he has, in his short time as leader, bought about 50 to 70 of them here.
Too he will try a change little but change to climate change, he has a plan to win the next election.
Screaming in his ear, from about eight thirty tonight, is the message his voters are willing to reject their party.
Funding?cash will flow if it takes a new Liberal party to remove mine from government.

Early indications are for a Kerryn Phelps win in Wentworth, with ALP and Green preferences she would be well over 50%, but things can turn. ScoMo may not be a happy, happy clapper in the morning.

Anyone with a true interest in small party,s should go to ABC online news site.
Read the actual results of every one of the candidates.
Do not ignore selective voting, had I lived in that electorate, it would have been my opinion Labor could never ever win it.
I as many may have, would have voted Phelps and Labor second.
Small party,s again proved they are not bringing other than a few dreamers with them.
An impact few will want to see is Morrison will, yes will, get as close as he can to resolving the offshore detention horror.
It has gone from being a weapon to a dead cat around his party's neck.
He too, at every opportunity, try to convince us he has the right under control.
Look for some ground giving on climate change, not true reform but the appearance of it
Dutton, the man who lost this seat, holds his own by about one percent, he must be looking for a job right now

Hi Belly,

It was understood from the beginning that only a strong independent could unseat the Liberals in Wentworth, I did point that out, it went as predicted. Others were approached but in the end it was Kerryn Phelps who got the job done. Don't be disappointed with the Labor/Green vote it was exactly what was wanted. Half her vote was from dissatisfied Liberals and non aligned, the rest from the Labor/Green camp, plus our preferences as required. The conservatives tried everything,throwing in "smokies" in the form of independents, trying to peel off votes from Kerryn. They called on the fringe dwellers of the lunatic right to throw in candidates to redirect votes back to them. It all failed, be happy son we have had a victory.

How ironic ScumMo now has to rely on the vote of that other lunatic, the fool from North Queensland, The Mad Katter, to keep him in power. This pathetic government has no mandate, no authority, they are clinging on to government like the rats on the side of a sinking ship. BRING ON A FEDERAL ELECTION, SOONER RATHER THAN LATER!

Malcolm Turnbull must be busy filling out tax forms to write off buying votes for Phelps.
Thank you voters of Wentworth for ensuring we go down the drain too.
Yes, the previous encumbend was of no benefit to the Nation but new one will be even less.
The LNP was in a mess thanks to Abbott but Morrison has half-drained the swamp already but the voters of Wentworth couldn't see that.
Morrison can still remain in office IF he drains Centrelink & the old age pension assets test so rural communities can have an economy resembling future.
Freeze Public Service salaries for the next three federal elections. Ease the fuel tax & vehicle registration. Only tax assets when they get sold or handed over, not while they're not in use to make money. If he does that he'll be PM for 12 years.
