Australian Politics Forum - Some Aussies are stupid

John Smith Gold Member Offline Australian Politics Posts: 75379 Gender:	Some Aussies are stupid Sep 7^th, 2013 at 7:25pm Regardless of if you vote liberal or labor, there is no way James Diaz should be in the running to win his seat but on early counting he looks to do just that ... what are the people in his electorate thinking? Could they really be so stupid?

Yes, but most people don't vote for the seat. They vote for the party, or even the leader. You only have to look at the whole "I voted Rudd for PM, not Juilia" a few years ago, when really they voted for their member and not the leader. A vote for the seat is just a vote for the party which is what most people have their eyes on.

It's probably not stupidity but people are distant to the whole thing. How many people said today- oh well, let's get this over and done with.

Stupid was re-opening our borders and wasting billions of dollars on opportunist country shoppers. That's one of the reasons people didn't vote for an independent but Abbort.

Sure. But for most people, today was a vote between Abbott and Rudd. A vote for Diaz is simply a vote for Abbott in their mind. I wouldn't be surprised if most people just look for "liberal" and put a 1. They probably wouldn't even know Diaz's name. It is just the way people vote these days (and being honest, how many people on this forum wouldn't vote for the party over the person? Especially if it happened to be a close election where their party needed every seat they could get).

The good news is that this professional phukwit will not take up a seat in Canberra. This is his second attempt and I hope it is obvious to his electorate that he hasn't got what it takes. I do feel a bit sorry for him because his lack of knowledge made him a perfect fit for politics.

The ALP, the progressive party, the party of ideas, the workers' friend, is the only Australian political party to roast four young Australians in roof cavities. SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!
