How do you get a government to change its mind on something?
Well contrary to popular opinion it’s not throwing them out of government….its the fear of them THINKING they will be thrown out of government.
Let’s look at the current state of seats in the WA Legislative Assembly
Labor 32
The Rest 25
That’s a majority to the Labor Government of 7.
So what needs to happen for them to lose government?
4 seats
That would make
The Rest 29
Labor 28
So if we look at the last lot of election results, and bear in mind that the electoral boundaries are being changed at present, but you will get the idea of how close to NOT having a seat are 5 Metropolitan Labor members.
Joondalup – O’Gorman ALP joondalup@mp.wa.gov.au
Won the seat by 1468 votes on a 2 party preferred basis
Kingsley – Hughes ALP judy.hughes@mp.wa.gov.au
Won the seat by 383 votes on a 2 party preferred basis
Mindarie – Quigley ALP john.quigley@mp.wa.gov.au
Won the seat by 1703 votes on a 2 party preferred basis
Riverton – McRae ALP tony.mcrae@mp.wa.gov.au
Won the seat by 847 votes on a 2 party preferred basis
Swan Hills – Radisich ALP swanhills@mp.wa.gov.au
Won the seat by 1824 votes on a 2 party preferred basis
So if each of those Members were to get emails from anywhere between 200-1000 people saying they would change their voting intentions over their stance on a PROPER RECTANGULAR STADIUM then they would sit up and take notice.
While you are emailing you may as well send a copy to the relevant Minister Kobelke
john.kobelke@mp.wa.gov.au
and one to the Premier
alan.carpenter@mp.wa.gov.au
And what to say? Keep it simple.
“I urge the Government to immediately proceed with the construction of a PROPER RECTANGULAR STADIUM as per recommendation 4 of the Stadium Taskforce.”
