Russell Crowe has argued that the rise of independent politicians are better representing the views of everyday Australians, <br> <br> unlike the two-party-dominated system in the United States. <br> <br> <br> <br> The Oscar-winning actor made the claim in response to podcast host Joe Rogan  complaining that Americans <br> <br> were 'completely trapped in the two-party system'.<br> <br> <br> <br> 'We have the same sort of situation, but we have a very <br> <br> interesting thing that's happening in Australia at the moment, <br> <br> which is the rise of independents,' Crowe countered.<br> <br> <br> <br> 'The main parties have to deal with the fact those independents have to bring a non-party-line <br> <br> series of points to the argument.<br> <br> <br> <br> 'And it's working well. It's working for us. In that it's making <br> <br> both of the main parties re-examine who they are and what they stand for.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Rogan mused 'we could use that here, for sure',<br> <br> highlighting how US politics is completely dominated by the Democrat and Republican parties.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> There are other parties, including the Green, Libertarian, and Reform parties, but these <br> <br> receive vanishingly few votes in comparison.<br> <br> <br> <br> <strong>Independent candidates can also stand and have been known to perform well on occasion. </strong><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> The Oscar-winning actor (pictured ) made the observation in response to podcast <br> <br> host Joe Rogan who complained that Americans were 'completely trapped in the two-party <br> <br> system'<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <b>Joe Rogan (pictured) is one of the most powerful media figures in the world </b><br> <br> <br> <br> Civil rights opponent George Wallace ran a third-party campaign in the <br> <br> 1968 US election which saw him garner 10 million votes and take five southern states, while another disaffected Democrat, Strom Thurmond, in 1948 carried four southern states <br> <br> on a similarly racist platform but with only a million votes.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> The nephew of a president, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., was poised to get on the <br> <br> ballot in dozens of states as an independent candidate before he pulled out and backed <br> <br> Republican Donald Trump. <br> <br> <br> <br> <b>He has now been appointed Health secretary in Trump's incoming cabinet. </b><br> <br> <br> <br> <b>Trump himself had previously belonged to the <br> <br> Reform Party.</b><br> <br> <br> <br> The former New York property developer had even considered running for president in the 2000 election under the banner of <br> <br> that movement - formed by former third-party <br> <br> presidential candidate Ross Perot, who won 19 per cent of the popular vote in 1992 <br> <br> but gained no electoral college votes.<br> <br> <br> <br> Perot was the most popular minority party candidate since former Republican president Teddy Roosevelt <br> <br> in 1912 ran as the Bull Moose Party candidate - carrying six states including California and coming second ahead of Republican William <br> <br> Taft.<br> <br> <br> <br> Australia has seen a rise in recent years of nominally independent politicians who have taken votes away from the two traditional parties of Labor and the Liberal-National coalition<br> <br> <br> <br> This situation is helped by a strong Green party who now have 12 senators and four members in the House of <br> <br> Representatives. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Zali Steggall (pictured) became the first 'teal' independent to achieve huge success when she ousted former prime minister Tony Abbott in his seat <br> <br> in Sydney's northern beaches at the 2019 election<br> <br> <br> <br> Meanwhile, independent candidates who run on strong climate platforms but are fiscally conservative have been labelled 'teal' candidates.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> This is because they have combined their 'green' views on climate with the traditional <br> <br> 'blue' approach of the centre-right Liberal Party <br> <br> on economics.<br> <br> <br> <br> Zali Steggall became the first teal independent to achieve huge success <br> <br> when she ousted former prime minister Tony Abbott in his seat <br> <br> in Sydney's northern beaches at the 2019 election.<br> <br> <br> <br> In similar fashion, Monique Ryan won the traditionally Liberal seat from former treasurer Josh Frydenberg at the 2022 election. <br> <br> <br> <br> She was one of seven teals elected, swelling the lower house crossbench to 16, with this tally <br> <br> including the four Greens, three conservative independents and progressives <br> <br> Andrew Wilkie and Helen Haines.<br> <br> <br> <br> Crowe's three-hour conversation with Rogan, which was first aired in August, has <br> <br> recently resurfaced in teal social media adverts.<br> <br> <br> <br> They are being pushed by Melbourne philanthropist Simon Holmes à Court, who founded Climate 200, which <br> <br> has given campaign funding to some teal candidates.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <i><u>Not all the 12 independents elected in 2022 were teals, however. </u></i><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Maverick independent Bob Katter has just celebrated 50 years in parliament (pictured: being congratulated by prime minister Anthony <br> <br> Albanese)<br> <br> <br> <br> Dai Lee, a former state Liberal candidate, defeated former Labor frontbencher and former NSW Labor premier Kristina Keneally in the south-west Sydney seat of Fowler.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> And, of course, maverick Bob Katter who has just celebrated 50 years <br> <br> in parliament, spending 20 years as a Queensland state MP <br> <br> before serving the past three decades in federal parliament as the MP for the <br> <br> regional far north Queensland electorate of Kennedy. <br> <br> <br> <br> Among his many mad-hat policies over the years include a bid to teach school kids how to fire rifles and a desire to build a <br> <br> missile shield across northern Australia.<br> <br> <br> <br> The House of Representatives crossbench grew to 17 in late 2022 <br> <br> when Andrew Gee quit the Nationals in protest at its opposition to the Indigenous Voice to Parliament. <br> <br> <br> <br> The Greens and independents make up 11 per cent of the 151-member lower house - the highest proportion of non major party <br> <br> MPs since Federation in 1901. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Joe Rogan<br> <br> <br> <br> my web page ... <a href="https://bio.rogstecnologia.com.br/lucio351610">แพ็คเกจ ลาดบัวขาว</a>
