While updating Wikipedia about tomorrow's new motorway — Victoria's getting an "M4" — noticed some unhealthy obsessions about a long-gone politician

(all fixed now)
(official lies)

Glorious First Dog satire: "We need to get more diversity on our side of parliament - where can we find a different sort of wealthy white man." https://theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/nov/28/dictator-dan-has-won-the-victorian-election-despite-being-despised-by-every-single-person-on-earth #cartoons #DictatorDan #VicVotes2022 #auspol
Dictator Dan has won the Victorian election despite being despised by every single person on Earth!*

@daphlawless well, filling a political vacuum is mos def a thing, and it's poss that some workers alienated by #dictatordan and seeing only cookers as oppositional forces could've swapped their vote for VS upon exposure to their juicy discourse ... but at first glance it seems the drop in first pref votes for libs partly manifested as support for cookers / the reduction in the labor vote went to Greens or VS. in footscrazy, where jorge jorquera currently has just under 10%, there was a swing vs labor of just over that amount

- VEC and AEC: they show the world how it's possible for an independent Electoral Commission to manage an election. No worries about gerrymandering or voter suppression. We have compulsory, preferential voting and a complicated-looking ballot paper, yet the VEC runs the vote-count and presents results (most of them?) on the same day as the election. 👍

- Teals: still in the running for two seats that are too close to call at the time of writing.

Teals did well to target seats with demographic shift. They got results thanks to strong community campaigning and high-quality candidates. Clear choice for suburban Centrists who can see the LNP has curdled under the leadership of right-wing extremists.

- Socialists: improved their vote in some inner-suburban seats, and earned a nice shout-out from the Greens. Good on them for continuing their fight to shift the Overton Window to the left after the Jeff Kennett years and all that neocon "trickle-down" nonsense.

- Preference Whisperers: they had no effect. So much hot air, and nothing to show for it. I hope this is last we see of "Preference Whisperers" and their hollow hype in state and federal elections.

- Matthew Guy: biggest loser. His lack of care and compassion in the pandemic made him look sociopathic.

Any attempt to be magnanimous in his concession speech has been overshadowed by his fans being sore losers.

We'll never forget "Lobster with a Mobster" so campaigning on integrity failed.

The worst bit: he was the best leader the LNP could offer.

- Mainstream Media: big losers.

They thought they could drive the "narrative" and tell people how to vote, but Victorians are thoroughly sick of Murdoch's lies in the Herald Sun and Sky News.
And we've had enough of Peter Costello's influence on Channel Nine.
Shame on key figures at the ABC for their obvious bias and unquestioningly parroting LNP lines.
