Hell hath no fury as the worker scorned:
Kos Samaras, director at influential polling firm RedBridge, says support for the Indigenous Voice to Parliament is plummeting among lower-income, non-university educated voters in part due to the “politics of grievance”.
“Since the RBA began its long road of raising interest rates, coupled with the cost of living, inflation when it comes to food and other goods, all of the things that could go wrong have gone wrong for people that live in the outer suburbs of our big cities,” he said.
…He added, “These individuals are probably not paying any attention to the Voice and when they do they feel like political leaders are talking about an issue that doesn’t concern them. They personally may think it’s OK but increasingly they’re getting annoyed that nobody’s talking about their problems.”
…Mr Samaras — a former Labor strategist who supports the Voice — said the polling showed a “pretty clear trend” that an increasing number of traditional Labor voters in the sub-$50,000 income bracket were now planning to vote No.
“We expect most of the No vote to be people who vote for the Coalition or Pauline Hanson and UAP, but where the damage is really occurring is amongst people who’ve got a history of voting Labor,” he said.
“I don’t think Labor is even aware of just how bad the situation is out there. They’re spending a lot of political capital talking about an issue that really isn’t top of mind for thousands of voters who live in mortgage belt electorates. I don’t see any sign they’re fully aware of what’s going on in the community.”
Of course, they don’t know. They’re the fake left. Spending entire lives pretending to represent the working classes while, in reality, loathing everything about them.
The most outstanding example is Albo himself. His welfare-dependent mother used as some passport into the socialist pantheon while, as PM, he impoverishes working-class families for fun.
Albo and his right-hand Chicken cowered before the energy cartels, delivered the immigration wage and rental shocks, and spent too much in their budget.
These are the primary drivers of weak wages, high inflation and rocketing interest rates that have crashed living standards faster and deeper than any modern Australian experience:
The backlash against Voice is partly the “politics of this grievance”. But it is also something much more dangerous to Albo. It is the “politics of the real” rejecting the fake.
Workers realise they have been viciously betrayed by a fake left government that either doesn’t know who they are or is trying to hide its failures from them.
They know that socialism is utilitarian and should prioritise the problems of the many, not the few. They know it should prioritise class, not race, especially during economic distress. Voice is the opposite.
Nothing is more galling for an Aussie than a fake political leader badging himself as their champion. The same thing happened to ScoMo when Aussies figured out he was a psycho, not the daggy dad he pretended to be.
This could turn fatal for Albo. As he destroys Voice, you can write the headlines yourself. The fake left will react with outrage and labels of racism. It will be incensed by the “deplorables” and wail like a stuck pig in the BMW on the way to the negatively geared holiday house.
And when it does, the fake left will prise the schism of Voice into an unbridgeable gulf between itself and workers.
So wide that even a plodder like Peter Dutton can walk through it with a little cut to immigration.
