IT is their destiny.

After polls put the ALP firmly in the lead, now seems to be the time for some unorthodox tactics to get the Coalition back on track.

And we know it to be true: The Napthine Government needs urgent help from Darth Vader’s Galactic Empire to build a Coalition for a better Victoria, and a better galaxy.

It means, of course, that the ALP under Daniel Andrews must accept the help of the Rebel Alliance led by Luke Skywalker and others if they stand a chance against the Empire.

Not only is this the best way forward for each party, it’s perhaps the only way to rouse an almost irreversibly disinterested public.

The Rebel Alliance will tear up contracts for the East West Link, just like they opposed construction of the job-creating Death Star. Only the Galactic Empire can deliver East West.

Crime rose 12 per cent under the Rebellion, if you believe the Galactic Empire’s heavily fudged negative material. Ban light sabres in the CBD. Give police rights to search Jawas.

But look out. A plucky bunch of interstellar rebels are campaigning hard of social issues, looking to improve public housing and welfare by making sure Victoria is not wiped out by Vadar’s forces of death.

Working on Grand Final Friday? I’d rather kiss a Wookie. And while that can be arranged, the Rebal Alliance hopes to grab a few votes by retaining this popular Labor policy.

There’s no doubt the Galactic Empire, known for conscripting thousands of clone soldiers, is tough on law and order. With more Police, more PSOs and more bounty hunters, the Empire is building a safer Victoria.

But who’s bankrolling who? Rebel Alliance negative campaign material aligns the Galactic Empire with wealthy gangster Jabba the Hutt. Do you trust Jabba and his lot to provide an equitable Victoria?

And let’s not forget that white elephant Death Star — a project started under the Galactic Empire Government. Over budget and running way over time, the Death Star will likely kill us all anyway.
