  Not looking good for the greens at all, I’m really surprised Melbourne has turned on them by the looks of it ?

    In the lower house. Senate currently looks likely to have a Greens balance of power. www.abc.net.au/news/elections/federal/…/senate

    Well to be fair I have felt for a while the greens are a bit lost. It’s a very interesting result - some naval gazing needed I think

    Im a humanist. The greens are too morally relativist. I wont support muslims who worship a child rapist and all the greens in my area wear head scarves. Yes i kmow you think im racist, my feminism doesnt care. Shove your islam up your ass.

        That is not why your post was deleted.

    Do you think it was the Israel/Palestine stance?

      I saved this from 5 months ago: aussie.zone/post/15598435/13409792

      It’s not just the Israel/Palestine stance (which I don’t want to get into because I’ll get downvoted to heck) but a big part is housing, they were seen (rightly or wrongly) as delaying housing, as someone who voted for the MMC to see him doing this killed me

      There was other things but a big one that stands out to me was this:

      The Reserve Bank should lower interest rates tomorrow and if they don’t, the Treasurer should use his existing powers to bring down interest rates

      …org.au/…/greens-wont-support-rba-reforms-until-l…

      That is absolutely fucking insane, it might just be the most insane economics policy I’d ever seen, this is Donald Trump tier idiocy, it’s a similar line to wanting to get rid of the Fed Chair in America but even he backed off after realising it would screw things up badly

      The central bank is independent, if the government starts setting the rates then what is the point of the whole central bank?

      There was loads of other things they did

      www.9news.com.au/…/0f7564a9-9615-47a8-aec9-414380…

      But anyway

      Looking at NSW and Victoria council election results, I expect the Greens will gain votes and maybe even a seat or two, I doubt there will be drastic gains or losses.

      @eureka@aussie.zone

      How you feeling ?

      I think it woukd have been the blocking of legislation last year, if anything.

      But i have heard the seats they won last time were a bit of fluke narrow path to victory that would be hard to hold, but the ABC are saying they’re marginally increasing overall vote share 12.5% to 12.7%.

      So maybe this will be a story about an aberration election, followed by a correction to their tradition of rising broad support across Australia.

      If thats the case then they shouldn’t look at tonight’s outcome as a bad result, they gave the Majors their first genuine scare last election, with their vote share rising, this will make it more likely to happen in more diversified seats across the country. Thats a great future for the Greens, ehat they don’t want is to have a fate like the Nationals whete they’re geographically cornered with no real avenue for growth as a Party.
