Labor’s primary vote seeing ‘significant drops’ in critical areas of Sydney

RedBridge Group Director Simon Welsh says the NSW council elections have been a “shock to the system” for the Labor Party.

The major parties have been put to the test during last weekend’s council elections in New South Wales.

“What we have seen is – across key parts of Sydney, particularly in the west of Sydney – we are seeing pretty significant drops on the primary vote for the Labor Party,” Mr Welsh told Sky News Australia.

“It’s happening in some very critical areas.”

How anyone can vote Labor is mind boggling!!!

[VKAB-]

When a party gets 32% of the primary vote it doesn't have a mandate to implement its policies.

Just bring on the election so we can kick labor out of office before they cause anymore damage .

Albo bin lying is in tears 😭😭😭😭😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

After Albo blamed ALL men for the National Domestic violence crisis, ALL men should vote for anyone but Labor in the Federal Election. Albos funding announcements mostly benefit women while issues that affect men get ignored.

It was already low, I don't get these 52 vs 48 polls when the majority did not vote for him in the first place.

[robrobs]

What do the Australian Voters and the Government have to change to vote in Pauline Hanson as Prime Minister

[peterbarnhoorn]

Albo's cooked..Mr "Chicken little" is unravelling...nfi 😮

[sierabravo]

Pauline Hanson said, "He's the weakest prime minister I have ever seen".
And guess what she's absolutely right....
And the majority of Australians would whole heartedly agree.
Peter Dutton said He's a boy in a man's body.
Not to mention a qualified liar.
I wonder what football scarf He's wearing this week.

If you are going to vote for a minor party, vote below the line and vote for whatever minor parties you fancy - then when you run out of them, put the coalition in.
If your minor is electable, you get them, if they aren't, you send a message to the majors but still sack the ALP.
Make sure you at least number the minimum number of candidates to not waste your vote.

One thing I learned from this government I never had a tax bill till this year and they talk about tax breaks what a joke 😢
