Bring Back Barnaby - Bring The Party Back ! and Go Barney!, page-13

By your posts you will probably vote Labor or Green anyway so why are you pushing for Barnaby. Is it so that more instability in the Nats will better the chance for Labor and the greens. It is the F parts of the SFF party that has made the difference last night. (Fishers and Farmers, mainly affected by drought). It was country people protesting. In my area we have a green member in a traditional Nat area on the protest vote against the instability. The looming Federal election could see two local Nat reps lose out on the same set of circumstances. Just as Abbotts inspired instability has made it hard for the government to hold on, so will a similar move by Barnaby lose votes if he stirs any more.

Barnaby followers will not be the ones making the final decision, they will still vote Nat. It is the few votes from those that could drop off because of him that will be the determining factor. The proof of that is here right now in Ballina after yesterdays poll.
