State Election in South Australia today!

If you live in South Australia, be sure to vote with a conscience, and get yourself a Democracy Sausage.

Bin Chicken Psephology Polling predicts:
- ALP will phone it in. They're taking it for granted they'll win with a reduced but still comfortable majority. The party have their head in the sand, but will hype it as "Steady as she goes."
- One Nation will steal anything not nailed-down, and grab practically all Coalition seats and marginal Labor seats. They're on track to become the most noisome, extreme-right neo-nazi state or federal Opposition party seen living memory (which, I have to declare, is saying something when you consider Queensland in the late 1960s to the late 1980s, or the recent run by Peter Dutton). It's going to throw the historically left-leaning SA into shock, and present a threat for all state and federal elections in Australia for at least the next 5-10 years, or however long it takes for global Trumpism to crumble. Pauline Hanson will be insufferable the entire time.
- Liberal Party and National Party will, in the slurred words of one poll respondent, "Receive an absolute shellacking."

@BinChicken watching on tonight with #caseybriggs , somewhat east of you [EDIT: oops, not so much you, but SA, i should have said], with keen interest. your

going to throw the historically left-leaning SA into shock

interests / puzzles me. if SA is historically left [a description i have no reason to doubt], then i just don't fathom the apparent surge of phon in the polls, if the populace majority is still left-inclined. purely as a matter of my attempted logic, not any electoral wisdom on my part, it seems that if a fuckhead party surges in polls, then qed a substantial part of SA is no longer "left" [but instead is fuckheady], in which case if tonight the unbearable happens & phon wins actual seats, then wouldn't it logically prove that electoral history has terminally ruptured?

not only in SA, but across these stolen lands, i never can grasp why disgruntled voters turn to RWNJs without policies nor solutions... such voters' illogicity & implicit immorality sicken me.
