G`day,
I`ll give you a heads up William.
I Intend to run also for the seat of Solomon as a One Nation Candidate.
This time round I intend to grab the snake by the head and not the tail and I do believe that with 2 new out of soughts candidates running for the 2 major parties who are totally on the nose, that I have a far better chance of getting into federal politics.
For a CLP Hierachy to turf out its federal incumbant is in my view a fatal mistake as Natasha Griggs has her supporters throughout Solomon. Labor is easy meat … just mention the Carbon Tax and Julia Gillard.
Here in the seat of Solomon illegal economic infiltrators is the No. 1 bug bear, followed by the cost of living and then the lack of funds for just about everything else you can name.
All I`m doing is punching in the sore spots and people soon get the drift, the 2 majors have been a complete and utter disaster.
I so much look forward to the up and coming federal elections to be held later this year as I am preparing as we speak.
Keep you posted

Cheers

John Kearney
One Nation

From Essential
Approval of Gillard has lifted four points to 41% in the last month — her best result in almost two years — while disapproval of her has fallen to 49%. She’s still in net disapproval territory, but in contemporary Australian politics those numbers aren’t bad.

Where’s Mod Lib? He claimed Gillard had never been closer than -16 in Positive/negative ratios. I said I was pretty sure a recent poll had shown over 40 plus and high 40s minus, which this one is, for a net negative of 8. It’s getting closer to equal.

If she turns it around to net positive in the next few months, the coalition is gone. Their whole campaign for the last two years has been aimed at discrediting Gillard, aided somewhat by the Rudd comeback moves.

If they can’t take her out they’re gone. She’s already got it all over them in policy and legislative achievement.

If they’re silly enough now to try to run with a ‘test of character’ meme, and it’s Gillard vs Abbott, as Latham has said it’s no contest. Labor wins hands down.

The LNP could disband, shut up shop, go out of business – because they realised that they were irrelevant in the 21st Century and had been destructive to the country as a whole – and Essential would still have them at 48%.

Essential is randomly polling a limited and stagnant pool, 48% of whom answer L-NP when asked which party.

Like night follows day.

I think Essential is essentially missing the apparent drift of primary votes from L-NP to KAP and others which is why they are showing a L-NP primary vote too high by around 3-4% and a 2PP too high by 1-2%.

Note – the above is based on no scientify analysis that could stand up to proper scrunity. However I trust my gut
