So the Liberals will probably need to have people who are handing out specifically for One Nation to have the full desired effect.

There will still be many candidates listed on the ballot as being PHON endorsed. I imagine the Liberals will have their volunteers hand out for PHON, it will be interesting to see how preferences flow and how PHON supporters will respond to Liberals telling them how to direct their preferences.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05384759394330604502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052593945054595675.post-88864971047809700452017-03-06T11:58:09.861+11:002017-03-06T11:58:09.861+11:00There were extra questions on the Parenthood poll ...There were extra questions on the Parenthood poll (example of reporting here: https://thewest.com.au/politics/state-election-2017/colin-barnett-faces-fight-of-his-life-as-labor-surges-in-crucial-seats-ng-b88392972z). Ditto the Tourism Council poll (https://thewest.com.au/politics/state-election-2017/lib-support-dips-in-key-marginals-ng-b88396583z). It's standard for ReachTEL to ask the voter intention question first on all polls especially so they can do party breakdowns on subsequent questions. Commissioning sources seem to be realising that providing the voting intention results to journalists makes it much easier to get a publicity hook for getting results of the other questions published.

I can imagine the Tourism Council might have done it as a proxy for the Illiberals, but hardly the other lot. Is it more that they commissioned a poll on issues of interest to them, and ReachTEL hung the voter-intention questions on to that? Or what? [And why oh why do they put the TEL in caps?] <br /><br />And if you want to start a not-a-poll on the 2PP, I'll vote for 53/47Jack Arandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06210027164177789357noreply@blogger.com
