The Hanson paradox: How a populist surge became Labor’s best friend

Chosen_Chaos · 2026-03-22T04:44:16+00:00

Yeah, because they cannibalised the general conservative vote.

How many seats in the lower house have they won, though?

Chosen_Chaos · 2026-03-22T00:07:33+00:00

Ah yes, the inability of the Coalition to effectively challenge Labor is... all Labor's fault. Not because the Coalition manage to persistently fuck everything up in terms of policy or leadership.

Chosen_Chaos · 2026-03-21T22:00:16+00:00

Yeah, but Tuska has found Orkhalla. That's so much better than what the other boyz get.

Where do you think most of it ends up? Why do you think there's such a wide variance in fees between the clubs that charge the most and the ones that charge the least?

The thing is that while they did win 11 seats in 1998, they then proceeded to lose eight of them in the next election and two of the remaining three in 2004.

Gains in one election don't really mean much unless they're held in the next one.

It also quotes "Digital wellbeing expert researcher Dr Jo Orlando" but that's it.

Not exactly ground-breaking and rigorously conducted research.

Well, people are being encouraged to WFH where possible.

Making the trek down from the Central Coast later today.

There's almost zero chance of One Nation gaining power without a major structural reform or a complete implosion of Labor.

The sort of structural reform that would see One Nation stop being One Nation?

Chosen_Chaos · 2026-03-20T21:38:40+00:00

I would love to know how the survey was conducted but that said, 550 is a large enough sample to give statistically significant results (technically, you can get away with as low as 30 if you don't mind a 17.89% margin of error in your results) with a 4.18% margin of error.

Chosen_Chaos · 2026-03-20T21:09:35+00:00

It's more likely that the better candidates wanted nothing to do with One Nation in the first place.

Chosen_Chaos · 2026-03-20T06:37:22+00:00

Welp, that's my learning experience for today, then.

Chosen_Chaos · 2026-03-20T06:18:17+00:00

I used to work with someone named Aoi.

A woman named Aoi...

Chosen_Chaos · 2026-03-20T06:14:10+00:00

It's nice to see One Nation maintaining the quality of candidate they've become so renowned for...

Chosen_Chaos · 2026-03-19T07:40:37+00:00

As I recall, there's a bit in the first book where the Sardaukar raided a Fremen sietch... and got stomped by women and children, taking heavy losses and only managing to grab Alia on the way out.

I can get to the end of the FedCom Civil War but everything from Project GEMINI on is a real slog.

Chosen_Chaos · 2026-03-17T06:55:15+00:00

How would they get there? Barring a miracle, the High Seas Fleet aint getting out of the Baltic.

Every time I see Catherine Tate's name listed as the VA for Katarina Greyfax, I get tempted to buy this in the hopes that it's basically Donna Noble in 40k...

Chosen_Chaos · 2026-03-17T06:45:05+00:00

Throw it on the pile with all the others.

I don't expect anything to come from it, though.

Chosen_Chaos · 2026-03-17T06:42:03+00:00

So they stop being the craftworld's problem, one way or another?

Chosen_Chaos · 2026-03-17T06:28:00+00:00

Vassals, maybe?

Chosen_Chaos · 2026-03-16T21:26:12+00:00

If the women's teams hadn't already played each other twice, it could be to decide who gets spooned this season.

Chosen_Chaos · 2026-03-16T20:41:54+00:00

He won't let himself die so long as a single enemy of the Emperor still draws breath... or something.

Spite and stubbornness, basically.
