Political Satire

[moXJO]

What a surprise . How could anyone have possibly imagined that the litany of insurrections, political actions, business scams and sexual assaults by the Master Tinpot God Emperor might ever be acknowledged by the marching trump army.

Nuh . None or this ever happened do ya heare !! All just Fake News..

And what about the emails..

Bring receipts Bas.
6 years on and nothing. And there were massive accusations that all flopped or were made up.
What happened to Jan 6 bombshells?
Oh now it's the raid.
There's been dozens of so called "moments before arrest". So far its all been bs.

Like I said reality is just as good as satire, Australia has its own Trump, saying that he was robbed of office. ?
I bet he has been phoning anyone who will listen as well. ?

Oh the irony.

Tory members prefer Boris Johnson to Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, poll finds

Signs of ‘Johnson nostalgia’ among both party members and 2019 Tory voters

au.news.yahoo.com

In a head-to-head contest between Mr Johnson and Ms Truss, 63 per cent of Tory members would opt for the caretaker PM, compared with 22 per cent support for the foreign secretary.

Results were even more stark in a Johnson versus Sunak contest. Some 68 per cent of Tory members prefer the PM over the ex-chancellor.

A separate Savanta ComRes poll for The Independent also found evidence of “Johnson nostaligia” among 2019 Tory voters.

If the caretaker PM were running as a candidate, 46 per cent of Tory voters would prefer he won, compared to only 24 per cent for Ms Truss and 16 per for Mr Sunak.

I actually really liked Kemi, and so did the majority. But couldn't have a true conservative could we?

I wouldn't know, but whoever they are they obviously weren't canvased for their opinion, situation normal.
The media is having a pile on the mill, best we do as they say, so they can move on and leave us alone.

It's a bit like here in Aus, the media hammer Morrison for not being accountable and being away when he should be running the State bush fire brigade.
He should be doing more to mitigate the flood problems, he should be getting more RAT's and more vaccines into the country, so he puts himself in charge like the media wanted, now he is in trouble for putting himself in charge. ??????
Magic satire

It sounds as though it isn't only members of Johnsons party that are annoyed, the voters aren't too pleased either, by the sounds of it.
Obviously too many listening to the media echo chamber, it's pointless having elections, we should just ask the media who they want in the various positions, it would save a hell of a lot of costs.
Also us turnips wouldn't have to go out to vote, win/win, we don't have to vote and the media doesn't have to waste so much of their time and effort changing our minds, if we get it wrong.

Remorse over Boris Johnson exit as Britons rate him more highly than new candidates combined

Boris Johnson was forced to resign by party members over a series of scandals, but the Conservative Party members who choose his successor would prefer he stayed.

www.smh.com.au

Once the new prime minister is announced on September 5, Johnson will be able to charge six-figure sums for speeches on the US speaking circuit while he also intends to complete a book on William Shakespeare.

The YouGov survey, in The Times newspaper, indicated that many Conservative voters have “seller’s remorse” over the ousting of Johnson.

The newspaper also commissioned focus group research which found that many people thought the leadership campaign had damaged the Conservative Party.

Richard, a plumber in the marginal seat of Southampton Itchen in Britain’s south, said: “The others have not had to deal with everything he’s had to.

“He stepped straight in and it was Brexit and then it was COVID and now it’s the war in Ukraine. Everybody waffles on about, ‘He should have done this, he should have done that.’ But I’d like to see them in his shoes.”

Voters in the so-called Blue Wall seat of Esher and Walton in London’s south-west felt he had been unfairly ousted.

“They’re picking on minor things. You know, furnishings and wallpaper and making such a big deal about it. And it’s the media. The media are the ones that turn everyone against him.” ?

Yes IMO they look like Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dumb, working up a brain fart, by the look on their faces Kevs closer.?

 

[sptrawler]

Here is a great example of political commentary not being careful of what they wished for.
Reading both articles shows that the political parties ideology isn't much different.
These articles are from the same reporter and I can understand his frustration, but he is adding to the problem, not solving it IMO.
If he spent as much time promoting answers, rather than just highlighting the problems, he may get more traction IMO.
That is the underlying issue today IMO, the media chasing a headline, rather than investigating a solution.

Morrison government hates low unemployment and wage growth

For the better part of six months, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has stated continuously that it is committed to driving unemployment below 4.5% because lower unemployment is needed to drive wage growth above its current historically low level. The RBA has also admitted that the closure of...

www.macrobusiness.com.au

Only in the world of the Morrison Government is an unemployment rate below 5%, a strong jobs market, and decent wage growth seen as a bad outcome.

The above statement from Julian Leeser proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Coalition serves its business masters first and foremost, and that they don’t give a stuff about the welfare of Australian workers and households.

The Coalition’s modus operandi is to flood the labour market with cheaper migrant workers to fatten the wallets of its business mates.

In this week’s speech to the National Press Club, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said that Australia needs to rapidly lift immigration because we are a “migrant country” and “we’ve got a globalised labour market, and we need to enhance our reputation”.

Albanese also attacked the former Morrison Government’s decision to send temporary migrants home during the pandemic, claiming it should instead have spent billions of taxpayers dollars providing JobKeeper, JobSeeker and Medicare so that they could stay:
Let’s be real: the Summit should be renamed the “Jobs & Skills Destruction Summit”, because that’s what it will achieve.

Labor’s ‘Big Australia’ immigration agenda will lift unemployment and further suppress wage growth, while exacerbating infrastructure and housing strains across Australia. It will drive another ‘lost decade’ for Australians (see here and here) where the economy and living standards stagnate in per capita terms, and productivity growth remains stillborn as migrants flood into low productivity ‘people servicing’ industries.

Like I've always said, only the faces change and it is why the swinging voter has the responsibility to keep Australia on track.
Satire at its best.
@basilio you may be able to post up the shovels take on it.
He is good at satire.
The funny part is, only the swinging voter will read both articles.

What I really find funny with the satire of the last post was:

The Coalition’s modus operandi is to flood the labour market with cheaper migrant workers to fatten the wallets of its business mates.

As opposed to:

But hey as long as it rows your boat, even if your moral compass is spinning like a top.?
