It is evident that if the Albanese government is returned in the coming election, living standards will continue to fall with Australia on the way to becoming the Argentina of the South Seas.

Now that they are seeing in the US what a real leader can do, Australians are more and more following American voters, just as the Germans have. Accordingly, Australian voters are increasingly withdrawing support from politicians with an out-of-touch and alien woke agenda.

This is the Trump effect.

While the betting markets have for some time given the election to the Coalition, the polls are now increasingly finding the Coalition leading on the two-party preferred vote (2PP), which calculates the percentage of the final vote as the result of preferential voting.

Thus, the Financial Review’s Freshwater Strategy finds the 2PP lead is 52:48, while The Sydney Morning Herald‘s Resolve Political Monitor finds this is  at 55:45.

However, the primary votes of both parties are historically low, with Labor down to 25 per cent and the Coalition to 39.

The impetus is clearly from Donald Trump showing what can be done when a leader is uniquely determined not only to fulfil his promises but to do so immediately.

Of course, the mainstream media, who denied Trump was right, popular and exceptional, has also been denying there is any connection whatsoever between Donald Trump and the Australian election.

They even claim support amongst US voters is relatively low and will fall.

However, a recent poll by the reputable US pollster Marquette completely refutes this. The poll confirms the enormous support for the things Trump has done or will soon do.

Sixty-three per cent favoured federal government recognition of only two sexes, 60 per cent favoured deporting immigrants who entered the US illegally, 60 per cent favoured expanding oil and gas production, and 59 per cent favoured declaring an emergency at the southern border.

In remarks that apply just as much to Australia, conservative Senator Ted Cruz says that when he was involved in Bush administration campaigns, a poll showing above fifty-three per cent support was ‘like a home run’, while fifty-five per cent or above was ‘like a mandate’.

He added that he had not seen sixty per cent polls ‘in decades’.

On that, Australians should recall that against the wishes of the elites, they firmly rejected Albanese’s woke Voice referendum by a massive 60 per cent to 40 per cent. This is entirely consistent with the commonsense conservative views shown in the US Marquette poll.

Australians are increasingly realising that the nation is being seriously damaged by Labor and other woke politicians

Returning to the effect of Donald Trump  on the Australian election, one fact is obvious.

Labor’s far-left woke programme closely resembles the US Democrats’. But there is one crucial difference between the US and Australia.

This is that Trump was only able to become the Republican presidential candidate because Republican voters alone have the power to select.

While the Republican party’s British and Canadian equivalents these days do allow rank-and-file members to play some role in choosing their leader, the Australian Liberal party remains under the control of faceless party elites who, in NSW, famously forgot to register candidates in the last local government election.

The result is Liberal politicians are too often Labor-lite Lino’s, Liberals In Name Only.

They are a significantly larger proportion in our parliamentary parties than the equivalent Rino’s are among US Republican representatives and senators.

To counter this, patriots can vote strategically. In the Senate, voters can give their first and subsequent preferences to genuinely conservative parties such as One Nation, which polling suggests is attracting over nine per cent of the vote, Libertarians, Trumpet, etc, and only then to the Coalition.

Voters could also do this in House electorates where the Coalition fields a candidate who is clearly Labor-lite.

As for the election, patriotic Australians should be reminded that the system is heavily stacked against them.

Not only did much of the mainstream media give the Albanese government the most extended honeymoon ever known, unlike the negative honeymoon they gave the Abbott government, they hate Trump and are still going soft on what has been a disastrous government.

In addition, there are no depths to which the Albanese government will stoop to try to ensure a victory.

This has included rearranging the management of the Reserve Bank to ensure a reduction in the official interest rate when the Bank’s comment seemed to suggest this was not justified, as well as an unprecedented series of mass naturalisations on an ‘industrial scale’, of hopefully grateful new citizens in key Labor electorates.

They have also stooped to changing Australia’s foreign policy to attract votes, even when this undermined Israel just as she was fighting for her very life.

Meanwhile, Labor has long resisted reforming our electoral law to standards prevailing in most democracies.

This would ensure that the photo identification required to pick up a registered package at any post office also applies when casting a vote.

Also, in one of their most criticised decisions, the High Court ruled that the constitution requires the electoral rolls stay open for one week after an election is called.

This loophole attracts a tsunami of registrations so large they cannot be verified.

The only solution participants can take against the resulting fraud is the one which ACM took in the 1999 republic referendum and the one Donald Trump took last year.

This is to aim to ensure the vote is so large that it overrides any such fraud.

Because much of the 2020 rigging, effected unconstitutionally and noted in this column, was still in place, Donald Trump‘s percentage of the 2024 vote was obviously larger than recorded.

The potential for fraud and the influx of the Labor-lite into the Liberal Party confirm the need for Australian patriots who do not want the nation to become the Argentina of the South Seas,  to vote strategically.
