Our resident Nazi supports the Canberra Nazis who scaled parliament house yesterday and screamed genocide against Jews.
We shouldn’t be surprised by this admission, Nazis always flock together.
mUnty seems very chipper today. If only they had given the corpse something to perk him up.
Liz Truss gone, beaten by only 600. Reform got over 9000.
Vote splitting in action of course.
Serves them right, Liz Truss less so though.
Liz Truss loses her seat to Labour by 620 votes with a 26% swing against her.

Mr Albanese also stated that Senator Payman was only elected in 2022 because she had been preselected as a Labor candidate.
Albanese has nothing more than air in his head. His stupid statements somehow suggest that some entity other than the ALP pre-selected the Afghani traitor… reap what you sow morons. That goes for every political party. Elect terrorists expect terrorist actions. The UK will set a very high bar on stupidity along those lines that will be hard to beat in this election.
Starmer says he’ll rebuild Britain.
It’s an emasculated colony of sectional interests now, what exactly is the plan?
Grow the state Blob at the expense of democracy & individual rights.
While giving people just enough economic growth & reduced immigration (legal and illegal) to be able to say he kept his core promises.
Incidentally, Starmer’s vote in his own seat has halved since the 2019 election.
Several news services: “after 14 years of conservative rule”
If only!
Corrected version: “after 14 years of Tory government”.
The UK election proves racism is at the core of their political system and society in general.
Starmer (white man) resoundingly defeats Sunak (brown man).

Until they do.

If the UK had proportional representation, Reform would be entitled to 93 seats. They have ended up with four.

Almost done in the UK counting.
Proportionally, the biggest winners are the LibDems, the biggest losers the SNP.
Other than that, the result is pretty much what the voting intention polls and seat by seat constituency models pointed towards. Reform split the conservative vote, which handed a supermajority to Labour.
Low turnout; looks like a case of Nah, don’t fink I’ll bovver, Labour’s gunna win, innit.

Just another day in WA.
Anne Jones, the 62-year-old foster mother of the Aboriginal woman shot dead by a police officer in Geraldton has been shoved to the ground — apparently by a police officer — while visiting the port town for her daughter’s inquest.
Police were called to an incident where people were reported fighting with poles. Mrs Jones’ grandson, 18, was arrested, and in the course of being put in the divvy van Mrs Jones intervened:
Ms Jones can be heard to tell her grandson repeatedly to go with police.
An officer says to Ms Jones: “You can film all you like but stay back”
Ms Jones then calls out to her grandson: “Quaylon just ge the f*ck in there
Quaylon get the f..k in there Quaylon
Get the fuck in there Quaylon”
Bump! Police officer on desk duties and commish “very concerned.”

There was a referendum on the topic in 2011, Bruce. The Tories campaigned against it and defeated it to suit their short term interests. Nothing to do with the Blob, it’s their own fault.

From TownHall Magazine:
Notice Anything Different Regarding Trump Over the Past Couple of Days?
President Trump looks tired in that photo, but then he’s allowed to be. I can’t imagine any other politician – even if they were 30 years younger – dealing with the shit that gone his way over the last 12 years.
He’s followed Napoleons dictum, “Never interrupt your enemy when he’s making a mistake.” Damn good advice.
Right…that’s the Koran in the bin then.
One of the talking heads today pointed out that the UK shares the political joys of First Past The Post voting for the lower house of the legislature with… Belarus, and no other country in Europe.

Sinn Fein headed for Northern Ireland seats leadStaff writers
Sinn Fein has become the most numerous party from Northern Ireland in House of Commons seats for the first time, although its members do not take up their seats.
The nationalist party was on course to win seven seats, compared with the Democratic Unionist Party’s five MPs, giving them a hat-trick of landmark wins after their Stormont triumph in 2022 and last year’s local election, the London Telegraph reported.
Sinn Fein was certain to point to its third electoral victory in two years to press its case for a referendum on Irish reunification by 2030, although their politicians never take up their London seats, it said. Sinn Fein members do not sit in the Westminister parliament because they do not recognise British sovereignty over Northern Ireland.
As the DUP lost three seats, Michelle O’Neill of Sinn Fein, the First Minister of Northern Ireland, said: “It’s time for a change, it’s time for us to take control of our own fortunes here.
They’ve got more integrity than Lidia Thorpe then.

“I’m proud to be, as I said, the first vice president, the first black woman to serve with a black president”
Bumblin stumblin, stamerin panderin, lyin Joe Biden.
I think the way to fix that is to have the negotiations before the seats are allocated.
Each party will have a vote in meetings for each seat to determine the representative for that seat that is in proportion to the votes that party received in that seat.
Negotiations beforehand will allocate who gets what seat, and possibly also cover what policies the agreeing parties should pursue.
A minor party could not, in these circumstances, simply choose to obstinately block, because then they just end up with zero seats. The deal gets you seats, but then the deal is done.

Seems convenient, I couldn’t be bothered to learn Chinese anyway.
As someone born in Scotland, and still having an interest, they have over 7 parties including the tories. So far as I can determine they are ALL Left of Centre. Not one is centre Right. The Tories pretend to be conservative right of centre. Wonder who that reminds me of…….??

Apart from blind revenge, there would be little to gain from murder.
He had retired at the time of his death and there would be far more elegant ways to sideline any residual influence he might have than mudder.
There’s no perfect electoral system. Every system has flaws, be it the US system, preferential, proportional and first past the post.
I note how earlier our very own Nazi excitedly proclaimed that Margaret Thatcher’s old constituency had gone to Labour. Well, the Nazi’s statement was quickly rebutted because Thatcher’s seat no longer exists and hasn’t existed for almost thirty years, but certain parts of it do now form the constituency of Finchley and Golders Green. Today Finchley and Golders Green fell to Labour, although I suspect it will be a one term win. It remains a heavily Jewish district. I can’t believe London Jews succumbed to voting for Labour (remember, Sturmer was always a key ally of Corbyn). However, until today Finchley and Golders Green had been held by the Conservative MP, Mike Freer, a longstanding and well respected member. Freer is not Jewish, he’s gay and he was very popular with his electorate, an electorate that includes many Orthodox Jews. So, you might be wondering why Freer resigned, being so young, he had a bright future and without a doubt he would have won today. Well you see, since October 7 Freer had been subjected to many threats, including stalking and death threats, from leftist and Muslim Nazi scum, his crime being he represented a heavily Jewish electorate and he was a vocal supporter of Israel and the Jewish people. Also, and many might not know this, Freer was stalked by the same Muslim Nazi, a vicious creep by the name of Ali Harbi Ali who, unsuccessful in killing Freer, found greener pastures at the political office of the sainted Sir David Ames, who he proceeded to stab to death. You see, Ames was also a vocal supporter of Israel and Jews.
So Mike Freer decided he’d had enough. I don’t blame him.
Oh, but of course, our resident Nazi no doubt thinks Ali Harbi Ali was just a misguided young man, like the scum who scaled parliament house yesterday. Jew haters always like other Jew haters.
Munted is genuinely happy cos he’s glad that Mother England will get multiple consecutive interest rate rises, rapes by immigrants, the destruction of the UK defence forces, unreliable power and huge energy price hikes, worsening literacy and numeracy levels, unaffordable house prices and a large European inVoice.
I guess Sinn Fein would be happy with that too.

Danger Dan Reviews: D*ckhead of the Week.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-k2gBwisd_k
Mixed-member proportional representation seems to work well in New Zealand. No need for grimy back-room deals as to who represents each seat.
Labour might take MMPR as a policy to the next election to get minor parties on side. Worked for NZ Labour in the 1980s.
Much hand-wringing about the defection of Fatima Payday.
“She wouldn’t have been elected if it wasn’t for the ALP pre-selection and campaigning.
I don’t recall any concerns about loyalty when members elected under the Palmer banner jumped ship.
So is the first past the post better or worse than preferential? In the UK with preferential the gutless tories would still be there but Farage would be sitting on their shoulder with a much larger block of votes. Here in shit-hole down under without preferentials the filth would be without seat. So, who knows.
The LNP would have won the last election and be on track to increase their majority. And perhaps they’d be governing with the courage of their convictions, as committed to writing in their original party manifestos.
I don’t think that’s dawned in monty’s mind yet.
He’s still grappling with how fptp works.

That was refreshingly…truthful.
”Australia is no place for extremists…except at Parliament House”.
Also, if “Gigi” is The Peanut’s step daughter (I’d forgotten that little detail), it takes the whole grinning, smirking Midwinter charade to the next level of creepy. Her father would be justified in decking the scoundrel.
The best thing that could be done in both a FPP and a preference system is to enforce a box at the bottom of every ballot paper labeled “None Of The Above”. I think it would attract a lot of ticks.
What convictions? It’s all polls and focus groups. Their nuclear push was a disaster because instead of doing their homework and putting forward a comprehensive policy they opted for a press release because the polls showed support. They’ve contradicted their economic stance by threatening to break up the big two grocery chains when repeated analyses have revealed a low profit margin and no justification for an anti-trust style intervention. They’ve promised to cut immigration but again without any detail or even demonstrating an awareness of what which immigrants should not be allowed.
Home…finally. Sleep deprived and about to play catch up.
Alan Joyce featured in that Danger Dan spoof. Our last sector was Qantas. The meals served were shameful. Inedible slop, even the Chinese passengers wouldn’t touch the vile “vegetarian” offering.
Our “representative” airline is officially down there with the cheap and nasties. Pared down to the bone, slipshod, cringeworthy.
Qantas is dead to be now after their connivance with Anal.
And while I’m on the subject of Qantas, it occurred to me that company directors, rather than travelling pointy end, should quietly book themselves into Economy and sample what ordinary people are subjected to.
I confess that I had become accustomed to the charms of the front rows with the showers of rose petals and dishes of larks tongues. If I needed a reality check, then airline executives need one even more.
For what it’s worth, Robert Verkaik’s book “The Traitor Of Arnhem” has been delivered. I’ve read the first section, which rehashes the old claim that a Dutch traitor, one Christian Lindemans, nicknamed “King Kong”, on account of his large and powerful physique, betrayed the plans for the landings at Arnhem to the Germans.
This was a claim first made, in books written just after the war, but has been comprehensively refuted since – the best refutation is a book “The Battle of Arnhem – the Betrayal Myth Refuted” by Cornelius Bauer. Basically Lindemans did warn the Germans that an airborne operation in Holland was possible, but the Germans could read a map as well as anyone, and they concluded that, yes there were three airborne divisions in England, and that Holland was the only occupied territory still within range of Allied transport aircraft, but a landing as far in their rear as Arnhem was unlikely.
I don’t know whether to bother with the section about how the Cambridge spies furthered Soviet interests by betraying the plans to the Germans.

If they give Payperson ‘the treatment’ (like Colston) don’t they risk being called Islamophobic and misogynistic? Or will the meja let them off? I thought this dual citizenship was a disqualifier- obviously depends on your other nationality and politics.

Hilarious, thanks for posting.
I am not too sure if anyone wants to know this, but yesterday’s attack on an Israeli solder in Karmiel shows the jihadi going for the neck. Exactly the same action as the Germany attack a few days ago. Holding the knife the same and the action of the arm. In Mali yesterday 21 people had their throats slits, probably the same reason. Same with the attack at the Assyrian Church in Sydney. Was the Uni Sydney attack the same – he went for the neck. It’s all in the Quran

Someone will be counting the chocolate chips and drafting a cost saving memo as we speak.
Tesla is up 50% since last month, which was when Wodney told us the stock was heading much lower.
I bought some, as I mentioned, and I been adding to my position. The buying isn’t occurring because of the car business. It’s heading higher because of the bet that Musk comes out with self driving robo taxis and the robots. If this side is executed well, I’m not kidding, the Tesla could end up with a US$6 trillion market cap. Musk reckons $US30 trillion, but I’ll happily settle with a sixer. The current self driving software used in Tesla is supposedly the very best in the business by a huge margin.
I’m actually frightened how bullish I am on Tesla. I’m not exaggerating, if he executes well on the robo taxi and humanoid robots, Musk will be the first trillionaire.
One concerning aspect of the US stock market is that it currently represents 60% of the world’s total market valuation.

Both these dudes made out out there calls, but they were also right with some huge calls.
I very optimistic about where we’re heading with AI and where it will end up. However, the point of contention with the bonehead troll was that I suggested demand for energy, caused by huge demand from AI models, will trip over energy needs in the US. We’re currently seeing evidence of this as server farms are scrambling around for energy and butting heads with traditional consumers. The trans bot appeared to have taken exception to that comment.
