What happens to centre-right politics if One Nation continues to grow?

That is a good model for disruption, but not for governing. It makes scaling difficult and retaining talent harder.

The question for One Nation is whether it can bridge the gap between protest movement and serious governing party, and whether its voters are willing to make the compromises that major party politics requires.

Pauline Hanson's decision to remove her name from the party brand suggests some awareness of this. But will a loosening of control follow?

Or will One Nation remain an episodic disruptor – splitting the non-Labor vote, driving moderates toward Labor, and delivering it larger majorities than it otherwise deserves?

And, in doing so, ultimately consign itself once again to the political margins?
