Russell Crowe has argued that the rise of independent politicians are better <br> <br> representing the views of everyday Australians, unlike the two-party-dominated system in the United States. <br> <br> <br> <br> The Oscar-winning actor made the claim in response <br> <br> to podcast host Joe Rogan  complaining that <br> <br> Americans were 'completely trapped in the two-party system'.<br> <br> <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, which is <br> <br> the rise of independents,' Crowe countered.<br> <br> <br> <br> 'The main parties have to deal with the fact those independents have to bring <br> <br> a non-party-line series of points to the argument.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> 'And it's working well. It's working for us. In that <br> <br> it's making 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', highlighting <br> <br> how US politics is completely dominated by the Democrat and Republican parties.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> There are other parties, including the Green, Libertarian, and Reform parties,<br> <br> but these receive vanishingly few votes in comparison.<br> <br> <br> <br> <strong>Independent candidates can also stand and have <br> <br> 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 <br> <br> two-party 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 1968 US election which saw him garner <br> <br> 10 million votes and take five southern states, while another <br> <br> disaffected Democrat, Strom Thurmond, in 1948 carried four southern states on a similarly racist platform but with only a <br> <br> million votes.<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 <br> <br> before he pulled out and backed Republican Donald Trump. <br> <br> <br> <br> <strong><u>He has now been appointed Health <br> <br> secretary in Trump's incoming cabinet. </u></strong><br> <br> <br> <br> <u>Trump himself had previously belonged to the Reform Party.</u><br> <br> <br> <br> The former New York property developer had even considered running for president in the 2000 election under the banner of that movement <br> <br> - formed by former third-party presidential candidate Ross Perot, who won 19 <br> <br> per cent of the popular vote in 1992 but gained no electoral college votes.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Perot was the most popular minority party candidate since former Republican president Teddy Roosevelt in 1912 ran as the Bull Moose Party candidate - carrying six states including California <br> <br> and coming second ahead of Republican William 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 <br> <br> parties of Labor and the Liberal-National coalition<br> <br> <br> <br> This situation is helped by a strong Green party <br> <br> who now have 12 senators and four members in the House of 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 in Sydney's northern beaches at <br> <br> the 2019 election<br> <br> <br> <br> Meanwhile, independent candidates who run on strong climate platforms but <br> <br> are fiscally conservative have been labelled <br> <br> 'teal' candidates.<br> <br> <br> <br> This is because they have combined their 'green' views on climate <br> <br> with the traditional 'blue' approach of the centre-right Liberal Party on economics.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Zali Steggall became the first teal independent to achieve huge success when she ousted former <br> <br> prime minister Tony Abbott in his seat 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 <br> <br> Frydenberg at the 2022 election. <br> <br> <br> <br> She was one of seven teals elected, swelling the lower house crossbench <br> <br> to 16, with this tally including the four Greens, three <br> <br> conservative independents and progressives Andrew Wilkie <br> <br> and Helen Haines.<br> <br> <br> <br> Crowe's three-hour conversation with Rogan, which was first aired in August, has recently resurfaced in teal social <br> <br> media adverts.<br> <br> <br> <br> They are being pushed by Melbourne philanthropist Simon Holmes à Court, who founded Climate 200, which has given campaign funding to <br> <br> some teal candidates.<br> <br> <br> <br> <u><i>Not all the 12 independents elected in 2022 <br> <br> were teals, however. </i></u><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Maverick independent Bob Katter has just celebrated <br> <br> 50 years in parliament (pictured: being congratulated by prime minister <br> <br> Anthony Albanese)<br> <br> <br> <br> Dai Lee, a former state Liberal candidate, defeated former Labor frontbencher and former NSW Labor premier Kristina Keneally <br> <br> 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 in parliament, spending 20 years as <br> <br> a Queensland state MP before serving the past three decades in federal <br> <br> parliament as the MP for the 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 <br> <br> how to fire rifles and a desire to build a missile shield across northern Australia.<br> <br> <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 <br> <br> Indigenous Voice to Parliament. <br> <br> <br> <br> The Greens and independents make up 11 per cent of the 151-member <br> <br> lower house - the highest proportion of non major party MPs since Federation in 1901. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Joe Rogan<br> <br> <br> <br> Here is my web-site <a href="https://firsturl.de/9YlpN5t">ขาย wine</a>
