Victoria Election - 29 November 2014

[funk44]

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

Was that a policy they took into the election?

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.

Yeah I don't like the LDP style Libertarian but do like the Sex Party style. They probably isn't that much cross over.

They exist to pork barrel.

They are some of the richest people in Australia, soon as there is a drought lets give them money. Bushfire, lets give the money. Property tax... not for farms. Tax act full of loopholes for miners and farmers.

Live in the city, just get kicked in the guts.

What the Sex Party need to succeed is some millionaires giving them an advertising budget.

Imagine the earful you would have copped from a politician picking you up.

Well that was his intention. I think.

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.

Ten never have Election coverage - state or Fed.Why not run something different to the other FTA channels ?

Providing support, whilst Tony ensured Naptime was hung out to dry on his own

So Melbourne is the greenest electorate in the country?

Both Federal and State seats of Melbourne are held by The Greens

Could you imagine the panel if they did - it'd probably be Dave Hughes, Grant Denyer and Andrew Bolt

We have other digital channels now.

They could have 3 lower house seats, I think 2 are close.

They have 3 channels though. But fair enough, their coverage would most likely have been horrible based on their recent track record. Probably better off this way.

Oh how I wish I could watch election coverage with Bolt tonight.

Even if they don't win the other 2 the margins will be razor thin next time around
