  Victoria needs a new second party, would be nice to have a Vic only party instead of another federal organisation in Victoria.

    Well, there is Victorian Socialists if people wouldn’t be too put off by them

      I have some very, very negative experiences with them man. I tried, I really did but maybe they’ve changed over the last 5 years.

        I was more involved with them last election, I ended up being booth captain at one of the sites. Everything was pretty chill and they all seemed good. I’ve only dropped off because I had the boys.

      A moderate party that is as pro infrastructure as Labour would be more successful as an opposition.

  Things have been going almost comically far right with the Libs in recent years so I hope this is finally the wake up call for them (although tbh I’d rather hope they die and there’s more smaller parties that rise up from the ashes)

  Agree, a democracy needs a competent opposition to keep government accountable, regardless of which side is in power. I hope the libs choose someone more centrist and less thug for the next leader. I feel like their party has become stacked with more extreme right wingers over the last decade so probably unlikely.

    As I said earlier, voters are never wrong. They can’t be.

    If the far right bull isn’t something voters respond to, they’ll have to change if they ever want to win those votes back
