ONE Nations Margaret Dodd will boycott the partys how-to-vote directive for the WA election after slamming Pauline Hanson a liberal puppet and a dictator. <\/p>\n
Ms Dodd made the comments on ABCs 730 on Thursday night. <\/p>\n
She said when she joined the party four weeks ago, she could decide her own preference. <\/p>\n
IM SORRY: Is Hansons apology enough? <\/p>\n

Ms Dodd has launched her own how-to-vote directive, telling voters to put the Liberals last. <\/p>\n
Pauline, you are supposed to be listening to the people. If you cant listen to your own candidates, what chance have the people got? she told the program. <\/p>\n
Dont be so dishonest, dont pretend that you are about something and then go and do deals with the Liberals unless you are going to be upfront and tell your candidates before they join that you are just a Liberal puppet. <\/p>\n

It makes me feel as though I have been lied to. <\/p>\n
Ms Dodd said if One Nation leader Senator Hanson wasnt being honest with her own party, how could voters trust her. <\/p>\n
It makes me feel that the party I have joined is dishonest and their only answer to any criticism is, you are disendorsed, suck it up or leave and you are not working as team. <\/p>\n
Its very hard to work as a team when you are working in a dictatorship. <\/p>\n
In a response to the ABC, Senator Hanson said Ms Dodds could leave the party. <\/p>\n
There is still time for Ms Dodd to resign as a One Nation candidate and run as an independent, she said. <\/p>\n
I certainly wouldnt stand in the way of her leaving the party, in fact, Id welcome it. <\/p>\n
One Nation?s Western Australian candidates are a colourful bunch, to say the least, and the surge of populist politics among Australian voters may see some of them elected. In a talk show-style run-down from Labor Senator Sam Dastyari, six of Pauline Hanson?s candidates were mocked for being some combination of racist, homophobic, conspiracy theorist, or religious zealotry. Despite the far-right party?s poll numbers taking a dive compared to federal trends, the party was projected to win three seats and possibly the balance of power.
