I’m not long in the area so I didn’t really know who to vote for yesterday. 2 minutes of research made it perfectly clear who *not* to vote for.
At some point you get the government you deserve.

Perhaps many of them didn’t hear about the allegations to which you are referring.

Incumbents have a huge advantage when most people don’t know the difference and only recognise several names

Ppl are just overloaded with change and will vote for anything that seems familiar instead of making a choice that requires time and research.
You’d best believe that this is absolutely intentional.
I wouldn’t read much more into this than “better the devil you know”

The list of people to vote for is probably a list of obvious crazies, unknowns who might or might not be crazy but definitely don’t know what they’re doing (yet), and the long-term incumbent. Do you vote for crazy, incompetent, or corrupt?

A colleague of mine was invited to the Liverpool council Xmas party (last year or year before can’t remember)
When he approached Ned, him and everyone around him were talking Arabic only. When my mate approached, Ned said we don’t have to stop, he’s one of us.

Ah nice, more damage for the Liberal party to come as more stuff surfaces.

I voted at Cairns hill, and Ned was the only candidate that had posters and someone handing out pamphlets including how to vote cards.

Well we already knew they weren’t the sharpest forks in the drawer.
