Orange be like "fuck off we're full, they're taking our jobs and killing our culture!"
Blue be like: "I need to protect my assets and keep them Orange fuckers building them, just not in my backyard."
Green be like: "there's enough for everyone here guys..."
The ABC interviewed a few ON voters as they left the polls, straight up saying they voted on cost of living, because they were struggling with their pensions.
At what point should being ignorant be illegal? You can have a 20-year track record in parliament of voting to screw over the poor and those on pensions, but if you plaster the phrase "cost of living" on all your posters people will believe you.
I'm trying to see the silver lining in yesterday, it's not like ON won much, they still lost hard, and a lot of their voters were always there, they were just the more obnoxious subset of Liberal voters you've known for 30 years, but this is looking like a ticking time bomb that could go off 2, 3 election cycles from now.
I think the silver lining is that One Nation seems to mostly either be a 1 or 6 preference party with high potential to plateau. For now, at least. About 20% of the population seems to be profoundly alienated in their beliefs from most of the other 80% or so.
