It claims that things get harder - because we are more polarised.
Interesting is the graphic under "Australian voters are polarising", and
how it is interpreted.
According to that, the middle disappears, and we become more lefties or
right-wingers.
However, I see the right over 20 years being constant by ca.25 %.
Just the 'left" side is constantly growing, from 19.5% in 1996 to 31.4% in
2016.
Furthermore interesting, the numbers show a clear correlation to the Greens
which came from less than 2% primary votes to ca.10% over the last years.

The question is: Why is doing Labor so badly while the 'left" side is
growing.
My short answer: The "lefties" do not feel represented by Labor.

Assembled cogniscenti;
I'm interested in opinions and experiences with mobile-phone OS's
alturnative to Android;
eg

I have been 'deleting' away at an old Galaxy SII (GT-19100T), with the
help of Kingroot for a couple of years,
in the hope of turning it into a useful device, mostly I use a very
simple Telsta ZTE-165 mobile and do all my browsing ,
on desktops and laptops "(this is unlikely to change much, as browsing
on a phone just seems like looking through a key-hole);
but I have finally lost patience with Android (and Google)....Craig's
comment regarding "spyware for Google";
seems very much to the point! I also am considering OS replacement or
just buying a phone with such pre-installed.!

given the many hidden 'gotcha's' in the myriad replacement 'recipes'

I am considering getting a mobile phone and I am after some sugestions and I know little about such things. I have so a avoided them like the plague as it seems a large percentage of users of such things become slaves to the device, something I have absolutely no intention of happenning to me.
The problem for me (I am recovering from a long illness) is It is becoming clear it would be nice to have some kind of communication for emergency use. I live in a remote rural area and I cannot at the moment walk any distance so if I am stranded, say my Greenspeed Magnum (Note 1) gets a flat rear tyre (thats happended 3 times this year) I have to wait till someone comes along and can give me assistance, this is NOT real satisfactory.
Something like the Librem 5, mentioned in a previous post, would be ideal as I really believe in Linux having been using it now from very early on (kernel 0.96d, early 1994), but supply being something like a year away may be an issue. So some thing else may be needed in the interim, any sugestions will be most apreciated.
Note 1: I have fitted my Magnum with a rear hub electric motor (a Golden Motor Magic Pie 4), this has made the rear wheel VERY difficult to remove its a real bench job, The front wheels are NOT an issue one can remove the wheel, change a tube and refit the wheel in less than 2 minutes, with the CO2 cartridges one can be one ones way in no time.

Does anyone have a spare SFF name-brand desktop PC they don't
need? Even an older CPU like a E2140 will be fine as long as it uses
the AMD64 architecture.
Contact me off-list if you might have something suitable. Thanks.

Why, Australians, do you elect these people? I would not trust them with a
cleaning job and you make them run a country?
