As voter disillusionment grows, why aren't voters flocking to the Greens in Australia?

  Because the average Skippy is still a racist, unintelligent simpleton

  There are progressive pockets of the population, but even in the heralded cities, as soon as you get away from the inner suburbs, you’re deep in the territory of the halfwits

  I made a move to somewhere considered regional Australia, and the majority of the people around me are simple hicks who constantly reinforce the stereotypes they get upset by

  But it’s quiet and peaceful

    This sort of holier than thou attitude is definitely one reason why people aren’t flocking to the Greens…

  Same reason the proletariat want to watch sports matches, drink, gamble and whore rather than spend their time in theory study groups and people’s committees: what Marx called false consciousness.

  What’s the point? They have the sorts of policies that wouldn’t actually work if they had any power, thankfully they don’t usually get anywhere near having any. Hyphenated surnames are over-represented in their ranks. They are elitist, latte-sipping city dwellers who wouldn’t know a hard day’s work if it punched them in the face.

  Other than that, they’re not bad.

    Most Australians also absolutely detest Islam because it is an extremist backwards ideology

    You gotta stop calling the religion of a quarter of this world an extremist backwards ideology. You’re not correct in your statement. If Australians detest anything its not having access to toilet paper.

    Flattening the wide differences between 2 billion people is farcical. Not to mention you’re insulting hundreds of thousands of your own countrymen, 👏 well done you, who share your Australian values and have Islamic faith.

    Try targetting degenerate extremists of any stripe and credence. That would be far more reflective of reality than targetting all and sundry hanging out in a mosque .

      Feel free to talk to them as I have, you have to go deeper than surface level discussions of course, really get in deep, you’ll find they are much closer in beliefs to a muslim family first than the greens but they will vote for the greens if it means getting a muslim member into parliament

      Now where did you put family first on your list of votes last time 🤔

      Undercover report: Muslim leaders urges women to total submission

      Six of the representatives were taped as they explained how according to the Koran, a Muslim woman is not allowed to deny her husband sex – it is his right, even against her will.

      I mean, encouraging rape sounds a bit extremist to me? But hey it’s only “one of Sweden’s most respected, and well-frequented, mosques is located at the heart of Stockholm, at Medborgarplatsen”

      Radio Sweden coverage of the same investigation notes that 6 out of 10 mosques gave advice to women seeking help that didn’t align with Swedish law, including advising against filing a police report.

      More than 40 people have been arrested after violent clashes in Sweden between police and people angry at plans by a far-right group to burn copies of the Quran.

      Jeez they REALLY don’t like Islam 😅 I don’t think I’ve seen even 1 koran burned here

      If Australians detest anything its not having access to toilet paper.

      When people were asked about negative attitudes towards different faith groups, 21 to 25 per cent of those interviewed said they held negative views about Muslims, but the rate in the self-completion survey was almost double at 40 per cent.

      In 2018, asked whether they felt positive, negative or neutral towards Muslims, 23 per cent of those polled said they felt ‘very negative’ or ‘somewhat negative’, increasing to 39 per cent when answering anonymously. Results were similar in 2017.

      This is what you sound like:

      Jeez you really think all these people are extremist? You’re crazy man, not every nazi is extremist, only some of them, try connecting with your local nazi, you’ll find you both have a lot in common :)
