Re: The South Australian Political Landscape
Poll the other day had the Libs at 14% primary. If this was across the board on election day, they’d lose all their seats.
Unfortunately it’s going to be a bloodbath, which will ultimately be no good for anyone.

Re: The South Australian Political Landscape
I was surprised that the poll had ALP only on 40%

Re: The South Australian Political Landscape
True, but ONP was around 20% or more, and they will be unlikely to get a single seat as no-one will preference them, so 2PP for Labor skyrockets.Brodlach wrote:I was surprised that the poll had ALP only on 40%

Speirs confirmed … would be hilarious if he ends up with more seats than the Libs.

Re: The South Australian Political Landscape
the state electoral commission could rule him ineligible to run due to his conviction. They have to wait until nomination period has closed which was earlier this evening. Now the electoral commission will start the process of deciding if he can run or notDutchy wrote:Speirs will win

Re: The South Australian Political Landscape
Good pick up. He thinks he’s eligible because the SA Electoral Commission accepted his nomination, but as you have correctly stated, they will need to assess his nomination before the declaration of candidates.Jim05 wrote:the state electoral commission could rule him ineligible to run due to his conviction.

Re: The South Australian Political Landscape
A political party leader was filmed using a narcotic, was convicted of supplying a narcotic and he'll once more, probably, be the sitting member in a seat.
That's not right.

I highly doubt he wins that seat again.

Libs arent even trying, got a no name "husband and father who is active with his church" running.
Genuinely dont know who to vote for.
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Heard my first Libs ad today. I didn't think they were actually campaigning.
