Pauline Hanson and One Nation had a disappointing weekend.
Has One Nation's unstoppable, Hanson-fuelled locomotive come off the rails already?
Saturday's state election in Western Australia was meant to be a showcase for the far-right party, proof that their message was resonating on a truly national level, that the party was about more than its fiery and fiery-haired leader Pauline, a launchpad for the so-called "voice of the people" to begin its state-by-state takeover of the entire country.
Instead, far from the predicted 13 percent of the vote, One Nation picked up less than five. The party will not win a single seat in the lower house, and while they are seemingly on track to win a handful in the upper house, it is a far cry from the domination spruiked by One Nation and supporters in recent weeks.
In what will surely rankle Hanson and her federal colleague Malcolm Roberts, One Nation polled even below the Greens ..

It is a massive disappointment for a party which, during the last WA election it contested in 2001 gained 9.5 percent of the vote.
