A joint Senate ticket of a "FREEDOM COALITION” would win 6 or possibly 7 Senate seats at the coming election - it would break the Uniparty and change Australian politics. But dividing the vote and running a host of different minor parties in the Senate is a recipe for failure - it could result in all the parties below getting zero senators (or at best just 2 like at the last election). Under the Ruddick plan for a joint Senate FREEDOM COALITION all the minor parties retain their individuality and run candidates in the lower house seats (where the preferences do flow) - but they come together in the Senate as one powerful united force. This can only be achieved by a true FREEDOM COALITION, and not by all the minor parties "taking the knee" to one minor party. And the Senate candidates of the FREEDOM COALITION are selected by THE MEMBERS of all parties having a vote in a "Grand Primary". A FREEDOM COALITION only works from the grass roots up, giving the members a vote, rather than be imposed from the top down. It’s 5 minutes to mid-night, Australia is screaming out for a FREEDOM COALITION - it’s time to put the egos and personal vested interests aside and put the country first.
