Solemn Sloth posted:I’m not a huge Andrews fan and think we’d probably have a better performing and more consultative government if he took a couple of hits to his lower house majority next November but I still enjoy this because of all the sweat and tears fuckwits like Baxendale have put into taking him down for no result whatsoever. I would argue that DAndrews' popularity less to do with him and Labor, and more to do with the sack of warm piss that is the Victorian Opposition. Seriously, our State Liberals are loving awful.

Imo Dan's and Labor's popularity was built on actually doing things unlike the Libs who were in power for ages and did loving nothing. So a combination of Libs being useless and Labor being useful. I don't see that changing anytime soon so it'll probably take some bullshit scandal to get rid of Labor in Vic.

Yep, Andrews brand has been built on the level crossing removal project. I agree with Brigadier though in that his brand has been protected by the complete lack of an alternative.

Don't campaign on anything that will make you a target, then just do it and then talk up the actual, realised benefits for a few years till the next election. Pretty sure this works for bad policies so maybe give it a shot for good ones. Maybe they do this already I dunno

Nick Coatsworth came and gave us a talk at uni about doing MSF service and the talk started with a few minutes of him waxing poetic in the third person about the experience of living in an MSF compound in a violent developing country. Along the lines of "the young doctor listens, tensely, to the sound of gunfire a few blocks away". I haven't been at all surprised by his self-emphasising semi-chud-doctor act during the pandemic.
