It's a combination of two different factors that make a lot of western democracy useless to even harmful right now:
Tribal normies and disillusioned voter base: you have the types of normies that are tribal because of laziness to look into who they are voting for or sunken cost of having always voted this way in the past that prop up the main parties. Combine that with blackpilling of many that 'their vote don't count/no point nothing will change' and this small tribal faction have a big impact in elections.
Uninspired and incompetent leadership: they basically can't think of any other way to get power and remaining power than following the ans set before of the globalist types to mass immigrate in a new serf class. It's why the 'far right' parties growing where voters aren't fully blackpilled just by looking at reality and coming up with a simple solution run rings around them.
It's thanks to these two factors I'm hearing monarchy get more of a positive opinion over democracy more and more...
I follow End Wokeness, but I gotta say this tweet is very disingenuous...
737K were the number of temporary visas issued, not the number of permanent migrants (which is closer to 190K).
A majority of these are student visas, with graduate visas(students who have recently graduated with qualifications that are relevant to specific occupations) skilled migration, and backpackers basically making up the rest.
Calling them Australians isn't correct either - they aren't citizens or permanent residents.
The EU's stance on migration has obviously led to huge issues for Europe, but I don't think this is a legitimate comparison.
Good to know. There's plenty to be annoyed with already, there's no need for accounts like this to discredit our position by deliberately obfuscating immigration data.
The Australian tertiary education system (Universities) are explicitly funded by selling a pathway to Australian citizenship to foreigners.
So much so that when COVID closed off access to those students and their money there was a literal collapse of the Australian university funding model.
So, no. It is not a consolation. Not even a little bit.
The problem with democracy is that we aren’t one.
The problem with a constitutional republic is that we aren’t executing traitors.

If it's any consolation (It's really not) most of these numbers are inflated by "students" unfortunately they tend to stay.
