Arise Prime Minister Hanson

It has happened. Pauline Hanson is now Australia’s number one choice for PM. The LNP has committed suicide, and ON is comfortably the official opposition.

Which is driving the surge? You tell me.

The moving average at Poll Bludger is fast catching up as ON gobbles votes from both major parties.

Once the LNP gets the band back together, we will no doubt see some kind of counter-swing.

Yet surely it is time for a pollster to measure where former LNP preferences are going, so we can get a Labour versus ON TPP?

The message here is as clear as silver trumpets: cut immigration and take power in Australia.

Neither major party appears able to hear it.
