16. Maybe...Maybe not.
If your voters are anything like ours they're pretty pissed with career politicians generally.

We had some woman (Pauline Hanson) running down here. Her attraction was that she was 'just a simple fish & chip shop owner' who knew nothing about politics. Next thing she's heading her own party 'One Nation', spouting extreme RW drivel.......and attracting over 30% of the votes in some states.

It was mainly the fact that she wasn't a career politician that most of her supporters quoted as their reasons for supporting her.
