Sorry I meant to say. I'm sure not everyone is in a position to help in polling.

CM,

I assisted the Australian Conservatives both financially and by disseminating information. I was among the first party members. They got about 3 votes. I'm afraid Australians are too politically naive and apathetic. I don't expect them to take any notice of what I suggest. They will continue to vote LNP/Labor/Green, and they will never stop grizzling. I just hope that I'm not around when Australia is another Tibet or Mongolia or Hong Kong.

ttbn,

How much longer do you intend to be around?

One small part of me ttbn would love to see the Chinese ruling Australia when the extinction rebellion facist throw their tantrums.

runner,

Stick around for another 10 years and your wish will probably come true.

ttbn- I'm ashamed of our fellow people that this happened to you. Kudos for participating. I wouldn't be investing large amounts of money in any business model even a political one without a very good chance of an equal benefit and success. More important to give your time.

Everyone wants money but not everyone has the capability to deliver on goals. My friend runs things on very little funding- slow and steady. Some businesses try the quick route- for example startups- it can work.

AirBNB- “overnight success” took a lot of effort, expertise, and 2 years.

My friend did much better than 3 votes. I think I voted for AC in the last election they were a good team- a lot of volunteers turned up wearing T-Shirts on polling day. I'm not sure why it failed- there has to be a reason.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Conservatives

AC website- got over 4% in two electorates- impressive. I think it's ambitious to expect to get elected short term- if you can get 8% you will be snapped up by the Liberal Party perhaps with a good policy negotiating position. I think 8% may be enough to start changing the landscape.

It's a long game- that's what the communists and socialists do- you've need a business model that can keep them in the game and slowly influence the public till you become part of the landscape and they change their minds. The sad thing is the old parties are changing so much they are out of touch with the electorate. Many have seen signs that the Australian people are losing faith with the major parties- but don't seem to trust new parties much- the question is how does a new movement tap this disillusioned group.

Some electorates have been more impacted by changes in society than others. The messages need to be clear- often even the major parties have unclear messaging- they don't need clarity- they have tenure.

All politics is local
