Comment on Guardian Essential poll: more than half of Australians open to voting for One Nation despite Hanson’s Muslim comments

  The question doesn’t take that into account so one would assume that in some seats there would be a viable independent that some voters (Greens, for example) would be even more open to than One Nation. An interesting point raised in the podcast was that perhaps some Greens voters see themselves as outsiders in the same way as One Nation voters do, and therefore view a party like One Nation as a more viable option than traditional centrist parties that haven’t done shit for anyone other than those on the inside.

  There is always a question mark over this stuff until we get close to an actual election, though. Many people are unhappy right now and might just be trying to send a message to the major parties via polls like this. A sort of “do something or else” type response.

  Nope, apparently not.
