Weeoo, weeoo, weeoo. It appears SSM is imminent:
If there ever was an excellent case made for compulsory voting, it’s the election of Donald Trump. Boris Johnson’s Brexit vote is another example, whereby it was possible to thwart the will of the majority.
The optional nature of the Liberal Party’s Mickey Mouse postal survey, let alone the gaps in registration, is why Tony Abbott’s ‘No’ vote can win.
The former PM will vote against same sex marriage and has offered up reasons for people to do the same.
And that is why the social conservative tail wagging the government dog pushed the idea, why the economic ministers, Scott Morrison and Mathias Cormann, are happy to blow $122 million on an inaccurate survey when a rolled-gold, best-of-breed, much-more-accurate, professional opinion poll could be had for 1/122th of the price.
Good news for the “yes” camp there with the Pascometer clearly signalling a positive vote. For what it’s worth MB votes “yes” for the 4% of Australians it will impact.
The other upside of the vote is that when it’s done we can perhaps get on with discussing the prospects of the 100% of Australians that are being rorted by the energy cartel; the great immigration scam; the housing bubble, fiscal ineptitude, a corrupt parliament, etc, etc…
