Greens!just think! the beggers get more votes than every right of reality party even the Nats, out side Queensland [what is wrong up there] they get more than one motion.
Who do they think they are?
Well not a fan but seems true that if numbers count their are the current third force in Australian politics
One Motion leader should dress up as a green and head in to the senate to warn us all Democracy is a threat

Toni,

"If a person collects a fallen tree in a forest and no council stickybeaks are there to see it, do they cop a fine?"

The fallen tree may or may not have made a noise, but chainsaws are not silent.

Then one has to get the wood home and if the local law stops one and asks where did the wood come from then one had better have a friendly landowner who is willing to say that it came off his property.

Toni Lavis king of stupid and irrelevant comments your latest contribution.

You're at it again Belly. Making an untrue statement by inference, in an attempt to attack those you see as your opposition.

Of course any party that stands candidates in every electorate is likely to get more total votes than a party that only contests a limited number of seats.

What counts is what percentage of the vote they get in the electorates they do contest. in that the Nationals & One Nation are far ahead.

The only relevance the greens have is that which your mob give them, in trying to buy their preferences & support.

If you want to be taken seriously, stop trying to twist facts to mean something they don't. It merely makes you look like a cheat.

Mr Trump/Hasbeen sorry congrats on your massive win in Victoria, in your mind that is
As you desperately distance your self from reality may I
Forget us Labor left idiots, read today,s SMH the words of and about your center
As your party sheds its own followers you dog whistle any one you please
After all living in the real world can be unpleasant.
my vote count came from the official count site,,, the leftist buggers are lying again?
Jolly good flogging do them the world of good

Belly,

Hasbeen has a point: the Greens' vote in the Victorian elections declined by around 15 % and one wonders if 10-11 % is about as high as their vote will go, for the foreseeable future. Maybe slowly, slowly higher as younger, innocent Millenials turn eighteen. But then the Greens' older supporters also get older and move towards the Centre. Win some, lose some. So maybe 11 % is as much as they can hope for.

On the other hand, I get the idea that the vote count for the right-wing fringe-parties also declined (someone could put me right there). And, of course, the Liberals lost around 10 % of their previous vote (but probably due more to an incompetent campaign). What seemed to happen was that voters preferred a sort of Left-Centre shift, away from the extremes, and so held their noses and voted Labor.

Cheers,

Joe
