looking like some decisive swings to Labor in the NSW by-elections. Reminder that political journos never ever cite evidence for their claims about voters distinguishing between levels of government at the ballot box. Never.
ah yes the old internally referenced metric. Trent Zimmerman says we are not seeing the kind of swing against the government you’d “expect”. Same way gallery journalists always report economic indicators as better than “expected” - for the Morrison government. All spin.
remember when the pandemic supposedly favoured incumbency because Labor decisively retained government in WA, QLD and ACT even tho the Liberals in TAS limped over the line.
anyway the swing is on regardless of how Liberal Party politicians and press gallery journalists bullshit on about the reasons.
former NSW Liberal Party politician with federal aspirations Andrew Constance is making a positive pitch for “change”. His party runs the state and the country👍🏼
Constance seems none too bright tbh. Labor pre-selected a high profile gynaecologist. Voters vote on local issues. And?
