I don't know either, and we're probably better off staying that way.

I (a Brit, then) spent six months in 1984-5 working in Chicago, and absolutely loved the city and people. The climate defeated me though 🀣

Our Farage-alike, Pauline Hanson, spouts similar lies about immigration, etc. The point was made (can't remember where, but it's true) that the far right can make up any story they want, and their fans simply don't give a monkey's if it's true or not. They just want to "smash the political system".

You do have a right-wing government, or at best centre right.

I'm a dual national & not going there again, for many other reasons as well as this.

My son is obsessed with this, but he is 37 so he can do his own driving.

I sympathise β€” it's so damn hot, we have the aircon on full blast at almost 10pm. Luckily my youngest child is nearly 27 though.

You should all apply for postal votes, on whatever grounds are admissible. The thugs can hardly sit next to you on the couch while you're voting.

No one is unlovable.

However, some people are definitely unrelationshipable.

Well observed. Want to meet up? (Just kidding, I'm definitely unrelationshipable)

Buy European. Support local.
Our spending is a choice β€” and choices have consequences.
Let’s strengthen our own economies.

Given what Bannon has said (which is just an open expression of the voter intimidation they're obviously planning behind the scenes, in addition to disenfranchisement), the UN should be sending in election observers. Can't see that happening though.

A lot is going to hinge on whether or not you get a fair vote in the mid-terms. If they're fixed in any way, it's a declaration of full-on fascism (in which rigid definition of "traditional" gender roles has always been a major factor).

They're not a government. They're a plutocracy.

They certainly seem bent on emulating them. Next: no education for girls, head-to-toe covering for women, and little girls married off to old men.

Hanson is also a rabid misogynist.

Assuming the mid-terms are free of interference, or that they even happen.

What are the chances of kicking these pedophile misogynist weirdos out of office asap? Come to think of it, what are the chances of mid-term elections even happening?

All they have is thinly veiled racism to try to keep One Nation at bay and undisguised pandering to their billionaire donors.
