As voter disillusionment grows, why aren't voters flocking to the Greens in Australia? (www.sbs.com.au)

Because the average Skippy is still a racist, unintelligent simpleton

There are progressive pockets of the population, but even in the heralded cities, as soon as you get away from the inner suburbs, you're deep in the territory of the halfwits

I made a move to somewhere considered regional Australia, and the majority of the people around me are simple hicks who constantly reinforce the stereotypes they get upset by

But it's quiet and peaceful

This sort of holier than thou attitude is definitely one reason why people aren't flocking to the Greens...

Agreed. Calling people idiots if they vote differently to you is not a way to swing them around to your side of the political spectrum.

Most people aren’t idiots. If someone is opposed to your views, find out why and try to understand how they came to their conclusion.
