The South Australian Election

 

The SA election* is indicating that Australia is following European trends.

-        Right of centre parties have failed.

-        Entrenched slightly more right ring parties fail to capture the populations interest in any meaningful way.

-        In the meantime the left gets giddy on unquestioned power and proceeds to remind everyone why progressivism is the reason they keep moving out of cities and states.

-        This creates genuine right-wing sentiment. But it takes time to build.

But as it builds the pendulums starts to shift in the right direction.  

This means we have likely a couple more election cycles of leftwing dominance. So we have some time to go before the devastating nature of these leftwing policies starts to finally effect enough inner city elites so much (aka their taxes are too high and their gated compounds feel more like forts in a sea of chaos than affluent communities) that they stomach their pride, and vote for, and even more importantly, financially fund actual right wing politics.

This would indicate that the right is entering its wilderness years. Many will try to spin this as an Orange wave, that One Nation is surging. But I do not think that is going to happen. We have observed a similar trend across the West that conservatism needs to utterly collapse before people realize that those of us who said we despise conservatism said it for a good reason: because it truly does not even fulfill its primary function of conserving your society. Many conservatives still cannot accept this. They refuse to accept it.   

The next stage of this trend is conservatism pretending its right wing. We are in that stage. Do not get me wrong, there are some true shining lights in the One Nation Party. Some of them have a solid understanding of the issues plaguing Australia. But I am old enough to remember many election cycles going back to the beginning of this party, where it surged in primary vote, but this was always curtailed by preferences. It is likely that this party could do some things better than the current centre right party. But many of us are waiting for the true Christian surge. When we get politicians who are leading political parties saying it is time to restore the Christian nature of our country, then we will know that we are on the right track.

Christless conservatism cannot preserve this nation. All is can do is fall into the same patterns of previously conservative or centre right entities. 

*exact numbers still TBC.
