Climate Change has become electoral poison. By Joanne Nova.
Too late, the socialists have realized they’ve lost the working class
Not only did the British Labour Party get humiliated in the last few days, but ten thousand miles away, so did the Australia conservatives where they suffered a catastrophic 30% swing to One Nation. The unthinkable is happening. Unelectable Climate Deniers are romping home politically, and the workers are voting “far-right”.
Climate change and the core left-wing totems are not just failing to reach voters, they’re actively turning them away. It’s the same in the US where voters have already elected the antichrist of Climate Action (and three times already). It’s slowly dawning on the socialists that it is not a momentary blip.
Things are getting so bad, the New York Times warned Democrats to “Forget climate change” and talk about something else.
lmao
Why are the globalists losing? Immigration of course, but there’s also this (via Craig Kelly):
Can you pick on the graph when Rudd was elected and Labor started to subsidise all these “cheap” renewables?
Greg Sheridan in The Australian:
Here’s a critically important take-out from the Farrer by-election. Almost 65 per cent of all voters chose parties that explicitly reject net-zero emissions targets. Yet for how long have we been told that it would be electoral death for any party to oppose net zero in principle? …
Farage is utterly contemptuous of net zero commitments and just won very big. Farage and the Conservatives combined score just under half the popular vote in Britain. They, and a couple of smaller parties, now thoroughly oppose net zero. Even Tony Blair says the Labour government should ease back on net zero, as so many other developed countries are doing, either pulling back their official targets or quietly going for more fossil fuel development and power generation.
Across Asia this is undisguised. In much of Europe, it’s happening a bit more shamefacedly.
Almost the last true-believing net-zero governments are Keir Starmer’s Labour government in Britain and Anthony Albanese’s in Australia. Britain, in all its mess, is probably Australia’s future. …
When will the Australian Liberals get courage?
I mention all this because it goes to the heart of the Liberals’ contemporary dilemma. The Coalition has renounced net zero. But having done so, Angus Taylor and the Liberals almost never mention the fact. It seems they quietly try to reassure country electorates that they’re done with net zero, but do so in such a sotto voce way that they hope city electorates such as Wentworth and Kooyong won’t notice they’ve changed. …
Changing a policy then not campaigning on it doesn’t win you the support of those who hated the policy, nor does it win you the acquiescence of those who support the policy you’ve abandoned. As my hero, GK Chesterton, observed, it’s the willingness to die fighting that gives the brave soldier a chance of surviving a terrible battle, where the coward has no chance at all.
Maybe it will only be a few more years until the world is ready to hear what is wrong with the climate models, and why decarbonization was always rather pointless. Still a bit early though.
