Is PUP Dead Now
Feb 25^th, 2021 at 5:39pm

Is this guy politically dead now.

Article:

Queensland billionaire Clive Palmer says his United Australia Party will not contest the WA state election in March.

Key points:
Clive Palmer says he'll also drop a defamation case against the Premier
The Premier's office called on him to withdraw "all his legal actions"
WA Liberal leader Zak Kirkup has welcomed Mr Palmer's decisions

In a statement released on Sunday, Mr Palmer said his party would not field any candidates and that he would be withdrawing a defamation case against Premier Mark McGowan.

Mr McGowan's office said it was yet to received any notice of the claims having been removed.

Mr Palmer's decision comes after United Australia Party (UAP) failed to win a single seat at the Queensland state election in October, and after he lost a legal bid in November to have WA's hard border deemed unconstitutional.

WA's Premier has got to be the most Popular Politician this side of New Zealand's Jacinda Ardern in the world currently.
So much so, the opposition leader has stated that he won't win the election with 16 days to go. Gotta be a world first for an opposition leader conceding defeat so early.

The WA Premier must be riding the biggest popularity vote in history - it's going to be the biggest landslide victory. Opposition supporters are nowhere to be seen anywhere.
The WA Premier is a good example of how great Australian Premiers have been. Anna the aggressive attacker on Covid. Gladys the back-foot defensive boxer of counter punches. Stan the Man Dictator who saved the State from Americanised whack jobs protesting their Right to be Selfish like it was a Eureka Stockade. Roll Eyes

A revolution in Politics?

PM's serve the USA Tongue

G-G's serve the UK Tongue

...Premiers serve Australia! Cool

He is definitely politically dead! Big Fat Loser of a bloke. Who in their right mind would vote for him?

Wasn't somebody around these parts trying to become a pollie at some State Election some years ago? Wink

Clive Palmer spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on ads condemning Asic

Attack ads aimed at corporate watchdog as it prosecutes him on criminal charges which could land him in jail if found guilty

The Coles and Woolies team bipartisan in kahoots mob don't like any outsiders on the playing field. I am you are we all are Asia, sold out and invaded without contest, the big two make all of the big decisions. GOT THAT.
