So Joyce thinks the Nats are dead and ON are going to be successful or did his party hate him so much that this is all that's left to take a grifter like him in?

From a perspective of what's best for his career, this does make sense.

They're gonna have to change the name from One Nation to Only Nutjobs.

When you vote One Nation out.

How hilarious would it be if Barnyard gave up his New England seat, then completely failed to get elected as an ON Senator. C'mon NSW - don't let me down!

It would end his career for good I reckon, might even tank Pauline, so fingers crossed.
