Sarah from The Voice of Today's Apathetic Youth is trying to come to terms with the fact that here least favoured option for mayor, Campbell Newman, is polling his socks off. (By the way, according to yesterday's Sunday Mail, Newman's vote is ooking closer to 70%)
According to this post on Larvatous Prodeo, quoting Crikey,
Campbell Newman's primary vote is sitting pretty at around 60%. And the
strongest Liberal seats are in the outlying suburbs, i.e. the bogan
habitats (my guess is that the Liberal vote is especially strong in the
developer-planned white-person communities we constantly see advertised
on TV with 'waters' in the name). The polls look really bad for Labor's chances of winning back the position of Lord Mayor. There may be a ray of light in Toowong Ward (which is ours, I think) where the polls are fairly evenly split between Labor, Liberal and Green, so a Greens candidate may get up on preferences. There are some fairly insightful comments in the LP post as to how the race is looking- enough to give anyone interested a much better idea of what's going on than has been reported in any of the mainstream media outlets. I don't know whether it was better (wishfully) thinking that Rowell might have actually had a chance or facing the reality of Newman being Lord Mayor for another 4 years.
