I assume people are going to read the senate ticket properly next time and not vote for Leyonhjelm.
Well Lionhelm has been elected twice now, and an LDP guy just got elected to the WA Legislative Council due to...
Antony Green posted:It should be noted that the victory of the Liberal Democrats in South Metropolitan region again showed evidence of voters confusing the Liberal Party and Liberal Democrats.
The only region where the Liberal Democrats appeared on the ballot paper to the left of the Liberal Party was in South Metropolitan region where the Liberal Democrats polled 3.9%. (LDP in column 12, Liberal Party column 19)
This Liberal Democrat vote in South Metropolitan was four times its vote elsewhere where it was drawn to the right of the Liberal Party on the ballot paper. The Liberal Democrats received more votes in South Metropolitan Region than in the other five regions combined.
East Metropolitan 1.0% (LDP column 15, Liberals column 9)
North Metropolitan 1.1% (LDP column 6, Liberals column 4)
Agricultural 1.1% (LDP column1 5, LIiberals column 9)
Mining and pastoral 0.7% (LDP column 18, Liberals column 16)
South West 1.0% (LDP column 14, Liberals column 8)

Mark Latham update:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4450418/Mark-Latham-outsiders-Fairfield-Sydney-criticises-English.html
quote:Political commentator Mark Latham has slammed multiculturalism in Australia as a 'disgrace' claiming it isn't working because so many people can't speak English.
The former Labor leader travelled to the diverse suburb on Fairfield in Sydney's south-west this week, to determine whether Australia's multicultural communities were integrating.
'What I want to find out is, have we got general multiculturalism in Australia, or just ethnic enclaves?' he said in a video posted to Youtube on Tuesday.
The controversial political commentator, who was dumped from Sky News in March, was outspoken about his anger when people on the street told him they could not speak English.
'It's quite disgraceful, how can we have a proper cohesive multicultural community if people don't even speak the basic language of the nation?' he said.
'It's a disgrace that Chris Bowen and others have allowed this to happen.'
Shadow treasurer of Australia Chris Bowen was elected to the Fairfield City Council in 1995 and served as mayor in 1998 and 1999.
In the video Mr Latham shows various people telling him they can't speak to him because they didn't speak English.
'No no no,' one woman said.
'I don't speak English,' another said.
'No English' was also a common response in the video.
'The government has got to step in here and do everything it can to encourage and teach English,' he said.
Mr Latham slammed the region for its inability to speak the 'basic language of the nation'.
'We can't have multiculturalism without people being able to talk to each other and build trust and cooperation,' he said.
Mr Latham asked residents what they thought of neighbouring town Cabramatta, a region with a largely Asian population.
When his interviewees told him they did not visit the area, Mr Latham said it proved Australia was not a proper cohesive multicultural community.
'Essentially they're going to become an ethnic enclave,' he said about the south-western Sydney electorate.
'People don't get down to Cabramatta which is just a five minute drive away, talk to the Asian community, get to know people, make friends across racial and ethnic and cultural boundaries,' he said.
'It's not happening, this is the problem with Australian multiculturalism.'
Mr Latham suffered a public fall from grace when he was axed from Sky News program Outsiders in March.
The political commentator was sacked following a number of controversies around his comments including labelling a Sydney schoolboy 'gay' for appearing in a pro-feminism video.
Mr Latham also courted controversy when he launched a website called Mark Latham's Outsiders.
He was fiercely criticised for the name because it was in direct competition with his former employer Sky News which relaunched its program Outsiders without him.
