He might get all the Lib seats in Adelaide but the huge regional ones that are the size of Belgium or whatever are hardcore Lib territory and I'm not even sure if he's running a lower house candidate in them anyway.

IIRC over 49.1% 2PP is the number the coalition have historically won elections with. It's been a while since I've seen the actual number so maybe the decimal point is slightly different but the actual point I'm making is that 50-50 or just under is definitely in the coalition's favour. But then again, I guess the trend against them could continue.

Lid posted:Ummmm... change places? One of these days NXT will have to loosely support one party over the other and it will seriously take the wind out of his sails either way. He's still avoiding it by running an open ticket as his voter base is an incomprehensible blend of ostensibly progressive and conservative voters but preferences deals and/or a hung parliament will probably see him support one of the L parties more than the other. I imagine those three SA seats will be pretty important this election and the amazing thing is one of them is one of those ultra-conservative semi-arid rural seats that has voted Liberal with a very comfortable margin for decades.

Anidav posted:The NXT guy was a dick. It's kinda interesting that he's running candidates in the eastern states because half of his policy platform is about "sticking up for SA" which will actually mean going against the interests of his constituents in the east when it comes to funding allocation or water allocation upstream in the Murray. Plus he'll eventually have to support either the Liberals or Labor in a tight election (probably Liberal) which will hurt him because so many of his core voters are former Liberal and Labor voters. He'll end up backed into a corner for a few reasons.

NXT's core demographic is that weird 20-25% of Adelaidians who vote third party (not including Greens voters) who all voted Democrats in the 90's and half of whom will jettison him the moment a hung parliament forces him to return to his Young Liberal roots. There's no interstate equivalent, or at least not one that he could tap into.

The libs actually haven't bothered to send me anything. I've gotten plenty from Kate Ellis and Robert Simms but maybe they've just given up on this seat. I vaguely remember getting a really hilarious one I think in 2010 from their candidate saying he could really relate to voters in the CBD because he once owned an investment property here  There was also a photo of his daughters at the horse races in formal dresses and those stupid hats with some quote from them like "Dad's such a card! He's always talking about politics and how he can improve things!"

WhiskeyWhiskers posted:Just a nice South Eastern Australian secession with SA and Tassie would be good. Maybe we could even enter into a federation with New Zealand. Ideally you want the border to be at just the right latitude that it includes Adelaide and Canberra but excludes Sydney/most of NSW/the seat of Grey. That way we also get a few more cool mountains too. Obviously it wouldn't go further west than the WA border.

Oh btw, don't accidentally put the potentially benign-sounding "Health Australia Party" anywhere near the top of your ballot paper, since they're actually human garbage fires. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_Australia_Party quote:The Sydney Morning Herald has reported that the Health Australia Party is against Water fluoridation in Australia, and its manifesto "reveals a preoccupation with homeopathy, home birth and conspiracy theories about medical research", and the party supports chiropractic treatment of infants with colic.[8] The party describes this as support for informed consent for immunisation.[9] Health Australia Party's National Party President Professor Kerry Bone stated in an article titled "Why is there a need for the Health Australia Party?" that "True freedom of choice in health care, facilitated by a supportive and empathetic government and informed by balanced media representation, is what we seek."[10] quote:The #1 Victorian Candidate Dr Isaac Golden stated in his article titled 'Corruption in the Pharmaceutical Sector: Why the Health Australia Party is needed' that "the Health Australia Party was created in 2015 largely in an attempt to expose and counter the damaging effects of this insidious influence on Australian healthcare systems.[14] and "to respond to the well funded, sustained and coordinated attacks on natural medicine in Australia which have placed our homeopathic profession at risk, as well as all natural therapists".[15]

Unfortunately Pyne will probably keep his seat. Last election there were six seats in SA that were so safe that they were never forced to preferences to determine a winner, but this year there is only one candidate in any SA seat polling above 40% - Pyne. Looks like the LNP seats Grey and Mayo (home of garbage fire Jamie Briggs) will go to NXT so that will provide a small amount of silver lining in a grim election night. NXT running an open ticket and polling at 21% mean that basically all the other 9 SA seats could do unexpected poo poo.
