Pauline closing in on seat
Mar 29^th, 2011 at 11:28am

PAULINE Hanson was in line for a shock win in the NSW Upper House last night.
After being written off after early counting on Saturday, the former One Nation Party leader crept ahead of a Greens candidate yesterday.

The first votes counted in the Upper House were from Sydney and metropolitan areas but Ms Hanson has performed better in votes that were counted yesterday in rural NSW.

Ms Hanson, who has moved to a coastal town north of Newcastle, was last night ahead of third Greens candidate Jeremy Buckingham.

She reached a quota in the counting of 0.41, slightly ahead of Mr Buckingham's 0.398.

Labor's sixth candidate, Andrew Ferguson last night slipped behind them both to 0.34.

The Greens were a slim hope of winning the final spot last night if they benefit from any Labor preferences.

Ms Hanson did not return calls from The Daily Telegraph last night

Admittedly she has a very high profile - maybe the most recognisable political figure in the country. But to come from nowhere, with no party backing, to win an upper house seat! We'll see.

I support the preferential system - and proportional representation - but there ARE oddities and DOWNSIDES to it

Pauline Hanson
1.87% of the vote

SEAT WON

Christian Democrats
3.07% of the vote
(down 1.35%)

SEAT WON

Shooters and Fishers
3.7% of the vote
(down 0.91%)

SEAT WON

The Greens
10.89% of the vote
(up 1.77%)

NO SEAT WON

http://www.abc.net.au/elections/nsw/2011/guide/lc-results.htm

FORTUNATELY, we seem to avoid electing these

WHACKO

parties in the Victorian upper house
The worst WE could manage - was ONE from the old Catholic "black sheep" of the Labor Party family - the

DLP

come back to haunt us

good misuse of statistics in the good ol' Gren tradition. These parties won seats in the UPPER HOUSE. The Greens ALSO won seats there. NONE of them won lower house seats - nor should they.
