Victoria Election - 29 November 2014

[Theseventhhamster]

Labor had no presence in Frankston, I guess they thought they had it in the bag? The crook had a heap of billboards and Armitage was everywhere, didn't learn the Labor guy's name until I went to vote.

 

[Fuzzy Wuzzy Bear]

Disappointing sex party numbers.

Just advertise on craigslist, I'm sure you'll find enough people easy enough.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

The name is needed to differentiate, but it also turns people off.

I think they would need to gain a larger proportion of the vote and subsume or ally with another party and rebrand, to gain traction in the future

Reckon the LDP and the Sex Party need to combine their talents and try to get a decent sized party up.

I always wonder how vandals get away with that during the act.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Libs concede

I assume in the middle of the night. (Plus who really cares when advertising is desecrated.)

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Napthine is one of the worst public speakers I've ever seen.

Now that I think a bit more they could do it during peak hour and no shits would be given.

Napthine is one of the worst public speakers I've ever seen.

The irony of you saying that!

 

[Tony Harrison]

Napthine is one of the worst public speakers I've ever seen.

I don't see that as one of his flaws.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Mark Kenny used the word embuggerance. It's a lot more innocuous than it sounds.

 

[Tas]

I am always in awe just how easily politicians can just keep bullshiting, doesn't matter which party or what level, just can keep crapping on about bullshit non-stop.

I don't think awe is the right word here

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Where was this?

(Oh & dk chin? That's new. I'll be trying it out in real life over the next few days.)

Footscray

Denis: "I'd like to thank my boys.... blah, blah, blah and Katy"

I think she is a girl.

 

[Grogg]

A well organised centrist rural party might be a real threat.

It could be. The NP sold their soul long ago and in the process lost any shred of credibility along with it.

 

[Tas]

It would be. The NP sold their soul long ago and in the process lost any shred of credibility along with it.

Looking after miners and farmers and getting kickbacks is a full-time job.

They exist to pork barrel.

just walked past the sofitel to get to 7-11

Many long faces and dabbing of the eyes out the front

 

[Play by Numbers]

Reckon the LDP and the Sex Party need to combine their talents and try to get a decent sized party up.

The problem there is that the values of the LDP, both socially and economically liberal are at odds with some of the nutters, but the LDP is quiet enough on the social stuff that the pretend libertarians can turn off to it

If the two combine, they have to calculate whether the two halves which are more agressively libertarian in one area, can be stronger as a group and not weaker for the shed votes.

Its a danger. The members and core supporters for both parties are more honestly libertarians but I find that a lot of voters only identify with either the economic or more "American" style values, such as laxer gun laws, of the LDP, or the more socially libertarian values of the Sex party.

 

[GreekLunatic]

For two years they did nothing

 

[DaVillaBlues]

Think Mrs Denis Napthine have posted their final tweet on twitter, and what a brilliant one it was as well

 

[Messenger]

Can't believe Channel 10 has no coverage of the election until 10.00pm (on any of their channels). Guess they were thinking the count would be much closer.
Pretty much a ratings throwaway.

Most of 10's core audience are either children or dribblers.

 

[DaVillaBlues]

Looking forward to the meltdowns from the Christian 'right' when same-sex marriage is legalized in 6 months or so in Victoria (long overdue)

LDP voters would definitely be the most interesting combination of people. From Meds, to Smithy to Evo there's a few different types.
