WAxit
https://www.waxit.org/
And we finally get to the party I’ve joked about the most since before their name change!
WAxit has a complicated history. It started as the Micro Business Party in 2016, which then changed name to the Small Business Party in 2018 and then on to WAxit in 2021. So you would be forgiven thinking that they are your classic mid right wing “Small Business Taxes are Too High!” party if not for that last name change.
Yes. Welcome to the isolationist/secessionist section of the ballot.
WAxit, as you can tell from their extremely derivative name, are tapping into the part of the WA population who have always looked askance at the other timezones in Australia and said “do we really need these people? We have all these rocks right here!” The past twelve months have been a carnival for these folk, as it’s reinforced for many of them that yes, they would be better off without those icky eastern state germs. We can keep most of them out with a hard border… maybe we can just make that permanent?
( Policy Analysis )
Any Predictions?
Okay, this is one of André’s:
Cannot wait for the WA separation movement to revive on the grounds that it is the only way to protect the western third of the continent from COVID-19.
Well, McGowan got there first, but we do have the glorious return of the WA secession movement. Solid effort André at predicting the absolutely predictable.
Is this party trying to kill me?
No.
Is this party trying to harm me?
No. That would require having policies. Though I think they wouldn’t mind going to war against an Eastern Stater like me.
Conclusion
WAxit are right here with broad suite of policies including: independence for WA, broaden the WA economic base, independence for WA, water is for farmers not rivers, independence for WA, hold a postal-only election, and independence for WA.
If you too wish to indulge in the secret tendencies underlying every person from WA to have a grizzle about those damn eastern states who steal the GST money and secretly dream of WA independence… vote for Labor. They actually have a set of policies for what to do while McGowan quietly continues to possibly secede from Canberra. Don’t vote for these yahoos.
I’d probably put them ahead of the far right parties who have guns, but no higher on the ballot than that.
