11th March 2017, West Australia state Election

[Meclazine for Israel]

As the sole Western Australian Atlas member, my time has come to put down the glasses and think about electing a new leader of this fine state.

We have the 8 year encumbent from Cottesloe, Perth's wealthiest suburb. Pro-mining and pro business.

The new guy from Rockingham, Perth's poorest suburb. Wants better conditions for workers.

Then the orange haired pro-Putin woman who hates muslim immigration and cheap asian inported sh**te.

Everyone is talking about Pauline Hanson at the moment. I think the best she can do is steal votes from the Liberals.

Then we have the Nationals who want a 10% levy on iron ore. Which would mean we would have an extra $4Bn in the bank if it was initiated in 2006.

Decisions, decisions.

There's another  liberal, conservative one here that's western australian. I live in WA, and have family that live here.

Nice one. Someone else who understands the heat we endure.

And here we go.

I dont really care who wins as long as we get Roe 8 built.

I dont think i could stand Leach Hwy with all the trucks for the next 8 years.

For a three lane highway, it mysteriously attracts Perth's worst drivers like a perpetual energy machine.

I don't discuss my electoral preferences or my future voting ideas.

But I can say in the case of Clive Palmer, he was pretty pathetic. Just a by-product of the mining boom.

In the upcoming WA election, many of the policies are attractive.

I like the idea of a mining tax in WA on Iron Ore. The money may as well go to the WA Government than English shareholders of Rio Tinto.

We really need Roe 8 and better infrastructure on our roads which the Liberals are promising, so that looks good.

Mark McGowan seems pretty solid, and has the polls on his side.

And Pauline Hanson is attracting plenty of attention.

Unlike US politics, in Australia, you don't discuss your voting preferences. It's quite a private political climate.

My predictions.

(a) WA Premier - Mark McGowan
(b) Pauline Hanson outperforms with 15-18% of the popular vote.

Looks like McGowan is sitting comfortable.

Hillary Clinton supporters have killed it.

40-42 seats out of 59.

Encumbency fatigue after 8.5 years.

Colin lost all the money from the mining boom and we are now in debt.

Nationals did well.
