Labor Constituents have the option of voting for a plethora of alternative Party's if the mob offered up fail to meet their expectations. The Greens for example. Few will ever vote for the conservatives while there is an alternative who will probably give preferences to them anyway and their protest vote is heard.
LNP Constituents do not have that luxury. Time after time Pauline Hanson/ Palmer types crop up and amount to nothing in The House of Representatives. The Senators are mainly viewed as an impediment to progress and I believe this may be sorted out before the next elections which WILL be a DD for sure.
The Nationals will be having meetings in telephone box's shortly and they know it. They are in trouble in the bush and if it weren't for a couple of performers, and a couple of independent ex Nationals, people in the rural areas would be voiceless. They have been let down badly. Truss is a poor leader and a worse Deputy Prime Minister. Abbott could do better and I believe he knows it. GA needs rural representation.
It's worth the time to advise every National MP that you, if you are a Constituent, do not intend to vote for them or anyone who preferences them. A "donkey vote" is the same as giving Labor the vote so the threat has to be prove to us you are up to the job or we vote Labor. What you actually do is your business as it should be, but the threat must be believable. The list follows.
