https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-03-23/nsw-election-polls-open-premier-daley-make-last-ditch-pitch/10932594 Polls in the New South Wales election are officially open as the leaders of the major parties make their last-minute pitches to the electorate.
Gladys Berejiklian better lose. Every time she talks something stupid comes out of her mouth.
It’s a pretty boring election, but I suppose that’s a good thing. Eg one of the key campaign issues is the Liberals want to knock down some stadiums in Sydney and rebuild them. I live in a practically-guaranteed Labor safe seat, so like in the last state election, I preferenced the Nationals candidate before the Labor incumbent, as I really want to see the seat become marginal. But also, the Nationals candidate campaigned on better mental health services for the area, which was something I could get behind. My vote for the upper house was a bit different. I gave Sustainable Australia Party my first preference, then went with Greens for second and Labor for third.
Fuck the media and their hard on for Gladys's foul smelling cunt. The liberals are destroying Sydney's heritage and making our infrastructure even worse somehow.
Our lord and saviour Antony Green has called the election, for the Coalition. 47 lower house seats are required for a majority, and although the Liberals and Nationals are estimated to pick up only 45 seats, they are nonetheless in a position to form a minority government.

Vile.
Legislative Council results are the ones to look forward to. Gladys may form government, but it won’t be functional if the upper house isn’t favourable. My rough estimates are that of the 21 upper house seats up for election this year, the Coalition will get 8, Labor will get 5, Shooters will get 2, Greens will get 2, and One Nation will get 1, but not sure about the remaining 3.
how the fuck did this happen. what interests do people share with the liberal party?
If my discussions on twitter are anything to go by, none. They're just fuckin' dumbasses who vote based on the face of a party.

Although there were fears inside the party that voters would punish them because no ribbons had been cut — during the campaign she took a big-picture view and told people in the state that "New South Wales could have it all". Yes we'll have it all, just not the pubically funded, privately owned Northern Beaches Hospital or the pubically funded, privately operated Syndey Metro or the pubically funded, privately tolled diaster which is WestConnex. Is anyone else seeing a pattern this government is doing to public assests? I won't be at all surprised if they manage to privatise the rest of our public transport system by the end of their next term, anyone else ready for ticket prices to raise to UK levels? The amount of practically irresible damage this party manages to do to this state is insane, the Liberals are given public assests out like candy which will likely never return to public hands.
Seriously considering moving to Melbourne or abroad because this shit is obscene.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-03-23/liberal-nsw-election-campaign-dreadful-mps-say/10929638 Some Coalition MPs believe that they won re-election despite Gladys’ campaigning, and not because of it. It is believed that opposition leader Michael Daley’s various blunders (eg when that video was released where he said that Asians with PhDs would be taking Sydney jobs) cost Labor the election they could have won.
So now, it seems for the Lower House is now a semi-multiparty system for time being; as the Greens has survived, regarding a Faction civil war is taking place, and the SFF has gained two more new seats from the Nationals. And just now wait for the next 2022 state election with one or two more parties gained 1-4 seats from the Nationals and maybe both main two major parties.
what the fuck man How can one type in English and make so little sense, it's like an AI attempt at making a paragraph of words.
Well, that's sorta unironic for me, anyway.
