But what seat exactly in the House of Reps are they going to lose to a far-right candidate? You're not going to have the Shooters Party or One Nation winning a lower house seat. And United Australia? Craig Kelly MIGHT win his seat for UAP but that's about it.They need the looney rights votes.
Leaking votes to the left flank (i.e. Labor, the only other party that can form government) is their problem, not the right flank. Don't know why they're so obsessed with pleasing the far right. It's not f****** America where the crazies need to be persuaded to vote and it's first past the post. The far right preferences will NOT flow to Labor.
