So this is what we saw in a Resolve poll, actually, that had One Nation in second place behind Labor.
So it wasn't having it in first place.
But it was starting to show that it's picking up city voters, tertiary educated voters, voters of higher income.
And, you know, perhaps tellingly as well, that the majority of its support, by a small amount, but a majority nonetheless, is coming from women.
So that's a broad demographic, and the point is that's an election-winning demographic.
If One Nation starts to become a party that has a realistic chance of picking up some city seats, then there is no reason that it can't form government.
It really just becomes a question of extent.
Can it get far enough into these demographics?
Can it get far enough into the cities by the time the next election rolls around for it to be in that sort of a position?
Anthony Albanese's handling of One Nation is going to be really interesting to watch and it will be an interesting experiment.
The thing to bear in mind is we've seen movements like this now really all around the Western democratic world, whether you want to call them far right or populist right or whatever term you want to use.
They are now the most popular parties in, well, they've won in the US.
They're the most popular parties now in the UK, in France, in Germany.
They hold power in Italy.
They got the highest vote in parliamentary elections in Austria.
I guess the thing I would say is as you scan the globe and see the fate of these sorts of movements, I can't think of a single society that is comparable to ours where this has actually been stopped.
I can't think of one where
where there was some lever to pull that stopped it in its tracks.
The thing that seems to stop it, actually, is that it gets power.
So when Donald Trump becomes the president, then he becomes dramatically less popular.
