If he does lose and resign, he would show more honour and respectability than the entire State Labor government

I get the feeling Xenophon is gaining massive ground across SA, reflecting a desire for change but also a lack in the trust of the ability of the Opposition to govern.
I'd predict that X could do some damage particularly to Labor's urban seats, possibly even heartland seats.

Yeah I would say this is a possibility. Nick X could gain some power here. The only thing to stop a land slide to the Libs in the next election is the Libs themselves.

You must be kidding !! Nick has sold himself and the respect he had on many occasions in bed with his religious right wing conservatives .

I have voted for Nick in the past on his no pokies card but he has lost the social conscience he believed he had. :evil:

He's gathering momentum as "the other guy", the "3rd" major party, without question, however I think people will question his antics if he becomes a serious contender. Some might shy away if he doesn't become a little more polished as the election(s) loom.

Nick doesn't fit the classic right-left dichotomy and his policies are a bit of a mix.
For those who don't like the authoritarians in either party - union dogmatists and capital C Conservatives - he becomes an interesting option, siding with some policies of the conservatives and some of the "progressives".

He is bound to disappoint those who expect or want him to toe the entire ALP left/Green policy line.

A bit like Weatherill and his ridiculous props (eg) O-Bahn extension
Has anyone really thought what it's going to be like in Grenfell St East when a bus every 30 seconds hits the 2 lanes in Grenfell St?

Yeah but think about how free flowing North Terrace will be without all those buses!
