The clown of the century title could very well go to big boy Clive Palmer in a lay down misere.

Clive reportedly spent up to A$100 million and won’t even end up with a seat in parliament, according to an SBS report published June 1.

i thank him for his poor reading of the electorate, but that’s what happens when you’re surrounded by sycophants, deniers of man made global warming and antivaxx muppets and twerps.

my heartfelt thanks also go to him for ensuring toxic dipstick Craig Kelly no longer poisons the House of Representatives.

Craig hopefully will disappear now, and cease and desist with his endless lies and misinformation about vaccinations and global warming.

thanks for nothing Clive and Craig and can you please take the rabble known as the United Australia Party with you into the political oblivion where you and they belong.

the following is the start of an article on SBS.com dated June 1.

SBS:

”Off the back of lockdowns, vaccine mandates and a mammoth estimated spend of up to $100 million on ads, some might have tipped self-proclaimed “Freedom Fighter” Clive Palmer to have sweeping success in the federal election with his United Australia Party (UAP).

“But despite what looked like millions of views under his YouTube videos and money that could buy him online engagement on Facebook, and real life engagement with his billboards, his big spending failed to translate to big wins.

“So what went wrong? And, what did the UAP get from its pricey endeavours?

“So, how'd the United Australia Party fare?

“With a new leader at the helm — Liberal MP turned UAP leader, Craig Kelly — the party pledged to fight for “freedom”.

“Mining magnate and party chairman Clive Palmer was by his side as Mr Kelly made big promises to enact an Australian Bill of Rights, outlaw lockdowns and vaccine mandates, cap mortgage interest rates at 3 per cent over the next five years and invest superannuation funds locally, among other things. “

Expand

Clive earns around 1 million a day in royalties from the Sino mining operation.

So in 3 months thereabouts he's recouped his outlay. It's chickenfeed to him.

So who is the clown?
