The Running Over Emus And Laughing Party has today increased its two-party-preferred vote by 2% in the latest Newspoll, shooting past Labor’s previous election-winning lead in the wake of the Liberal leadership spill.
The party, lead by a 20-year-old man who deliberately ran down emus in his ute on a country road near the South Australian border last week, has surprised political analysts who thought they wouldn’t be in anyway considered as a preferred Prime Minister, until matched up against Shorten.
The man, 20, was charged with numerous animal cruelty and traffic offences on Friday after the video he filmed of himself running over the emus went viral on social media – but it hasn’t stopped his campaign momentum – as the leader of the opposition continues to be outpolled by some of the most unlikable people in the country.
It is not yet known why the the degenerate animal torturer is even being considered as a Prime Minster, while the RSPCA protesting the The Running Over Emus And Laughing Party’s decision to elect him as their leader.
One month after a toxic three-way leadership contest flipped Australia’s Prime Minister for the third time time since Labor was voted out in 2013, it appears that the emu hit-n-runner boosted their primary vote by 3% to 36% and now sits behind Labor 46% to 54% in two-party-preferred terms.
The result represents a 4.4% swing to Labor since the 2016 election, which would lead to the government losing up to 20 seats if replicated in a general election, but it is the first positive movement towards the disgustingly cruel townie.
When asked for comment Bill Shorten said he’d never run over emus if he ever visited the bush, but was unable to explain why that man was polling better than him.
