Outside their own heads. the Greens actually have little support from working class Australian voters. Years of refusing to listen to what these voters are saying and lecturing them on how they are wrong (notably on unauthorised immigration), will do that.

They've got more support than the far right but jobs you stan

not from working class Australians.

It's kinda like when a few thousand turn up at some leftist demo in Melbourne is trumpeted as a great success by the organisers - a few thousand, in a city with a population of over 4 million?

1970s style demos don't work any more.

Even from working class australinans they do

most working class Australians oppose unauthorised immigration by boat, which the Greens support.

Malcolm Fraser (PM 1975-83) was the Member for the seat of Wannon in the Western District of Victoria.

This 1987 John Cleese PPB for the SDP-Liberal Alliance reinforces posters heres view on how fifteen seats is impressive, but it’s still less than 10% of the whole Australian House of Reps and is a poor return on the 31.5% non-major party vote in the 2022 federal election – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSUKMa1cYHk

Speaking as a paid up member of the ALP i remind you that members have to all sign the Pledge.

"The Liberals hold 16 of the poorest 20 seats".

Exactly. Also, so much for the socialists in the Greens's thinking they will appeal to a sacred proletariat

The Greens's current figure of 11.9% is only 0.1% ahead of where they were in 2010.

whatever windbag Bandt might say, the Greens only won a seat off the Libs because the demos of the voters in that seat had changed, not because Greens policies had suddenly become palatable to conservative Australian voters, let alone to most moderate ones.

The tightest races this election look like the reverse of 2019:
2019: Labour won 13 of 18 races within 3%
2022: Liberals win ~7 of 9 races within 3% (Moore, Menzies, Casey, Bass, Sturt, Deakin, Gilmore...)

One could have expected the winning party to dominate the close calls.

The last time Labor defeated the government from opposition (2007) they won 9 out of 19 seats within 3% (9 out of 22 seats if you widen the criteria to within 4%).

Yes the national electoral calculus in the last 15 years has turned against the ALP. in 2007, Kevin Rudd's ALP got 43.4 of the primary vote. This election it was 32.8%

The butthurt is strong in this one.

socialism still has no mass appeal with Australian voters

The Labor Party is not socialist and hasn't been socialist for many decades.

I'm actually taking a dig at those who think the collapse of the socialist left in the Anglosphere in the last 43 years will be reversed.

I live in Adam Bandt's electorate. He's a windbag and an idiot.
