Single Issue Parties in Parliament - Hon Wilson Tucker MLC

Hon Wilson Tucker made history in 2021 by winning a seat in the WA state election with only 98 primary votes for the Daylight Savings Party. 1) How does that work? 2) How does it feel being an unexpected entry to the historic composition of a parliament? 3) Why make a single issue political party? Let's find out! I sat down with the Hon Wilson Tucker to discuss what it felt like to have to make the choice between continuing with a familiar career or flying across the world to take a seat in the WA State Parliament, as well has how he navigates having to balance his own specific political goals with the desires of his electorate, and if there's much room for 'ordinary' people in Parliament.
