Lyle Shelton to run for Senate.

Usual crap coming out of his mouth.

Shelton said he hoped to offer Queenslanders a conservative alternative at the next federal election.

If elected, he would oppose “political correctness, gender ideology and social Marxism”.

“By working together, conservatives across our state can put a handbrake on the extreme elite ideologies that have infected Canberra,” he said.

Good on him for putting his money where his mouth is for once, and also confirming once and for all he's just another conservative draping himself in the bible for political convenience. I suspect it will also be a wake up call for him and hopefully it will make him realise he is not in part of some sort of silent majority, and that he and his ilk are just some noisy minority shouting at clouds from the sideline.

Nobody has been elected for the Australian Conservatives and I don't expect that to change. The Coalition for years now has been actively recruiting Jesus types who were in Family First and other dead or near enough microparties. When Turnbull goes they will become an even more right wing party. For voters wanting more explicit xenophobia and racism and a feeling of "sticking it to the establishment" One Nation is back in town. Where does Corey Bernardi's social conservatism + Thatcher worship fit into that? It doesn't.

Probably couldn't get Liberal preselection.

I am so glad Lyle is standing. We need more men like him in Canberra (but obviously not women).

And he has made a smart choice standing in Queensland, with its solid track record of electing sensible parties like One Nation and Clive Palmer's party.

Unlike those godless Sodom and Gomorrah cities of the south, Sydney and Melbourne, full of leftist hipsters, queers and middle eastern, asian and other people we should never have allowed in.

Godspeed, Lyle.

Good another chance for Shelton to embarrass himself.

You would have thought taking such an embarrassing defeat as leader of the NO campaign he would realize that he is irrelevant and laughed at by the majority of Australians. But onward Christian Soldier.

He will be getting the "honour" of being put last on my Senate ticket.

 

[flashmanvc]

I can't think of a more boring individual on the political scene.

I don't think I've read so much ignorance ever.

Is it possible for me to say that I'm enjoying watching the Australian Conservative fall, if they never really rose?

Perhaps just fail. I'm really enjoying watching the Australian Conservatives fail.

It's going to be SO satisfying watching them make all this noise and run these talking points and then get no votes.

I'm so glad Bernardi did this. I only wish Christianson had done it too.

 

[GreyWind]

The hard right Christian conservative style of politics is not one that is going to ever catch on in Australia. But I look forward to Bernardi and Shelton continuing to make fools of themselves in the public domain.

It’s ok to vote no.

 

[blured]

Another zombie conservative great

 

[Number37]

Queensland, home of 1 Nation & 2 Conservatives.

 

[Gough]

It’s ok to vote no.

I would have voted for Lyle but the way his supporters carry on makes me change my mind.

 

[pazza]

Isn't he from Canberra?

 

[Ice-Wolf]

Isn't he from Canberra?

You try getting elected as a conservative in Canberra.

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Awesome chance for his personal and family history of touting for that corrupt fraud Howard Carter to be liberally explored.

 

[Scotland]

This guy gives me the heebie jeebies.

 

[raskolnikov]

Isn't he from Canberra?

Toowoomba.

I’m going to vote for Lyle because he tells it how it is.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

I’m going to vote for Lyle because he tells it how it is.

I'm sure all of the silent majority will vote for him.

 

[Jello_B]

I'm sure all of the silent majority will vote for him.

Needs a hat complete with slogan to ensure victory.

 

[Gough]

I'm sure all of the silent majority will vote for him.

Sure as s**t the trogs rolled that line out in the abortion referendum in Ireland. When the exit polls looked like s**t for them out came the old we don't like to voice our opinion for fear of reprisals excuse.

 

[GreyWind]

He's such a bell-end.

 

[AM]

Lyle is definitely going to add the sum of parliamentary knowledge should he make it to the Senate.

 

[Hawk Dork]

Just what we need another Christian who has empathy for the rich and will step up to fight for them while claiming to do gods work
