The vast majority of One Nation MPs quit before the end of their first term. They're either expelled or quit because of internal bickering and dysfunction. Pauline Hanson herself was kicked out of the party and wasn't part of it from 2002 to 2013.
Barnaby Joyce will not be a One Nation MP by the next election. David Farley will likely quit or be expelled by the end of this year.
What's missing from all this media obsession with how much One Nation is rising in the polls because of all the oxygen and hype the media is giving to it is the issue of longevity and stability. One Nation has never been stable. Barely any of its members maintain party allegiance after a year in office. Why aren't journalists bringing that up?
One Nation is not a viable alternative. It's the gutter where those too dysfunctional to be part of real political parties go to see if they can whip up enough racist scaremongering to keep their paycheck at the next election.
It doesn't matter how many seats One Nation wins at the next election. It won't have kept most of them by the time the next election afterwards happens. One Nation is a grift. A con. A trap for the disillusioned and angry who want change but don't realise One Nation is the worst way to make that happen.
