Re: The Australian Federal Election 2010 Thread (III)

Looks increasingly like the Katter/Windsor/Oakeshott Indie block will be a very powerful force for country Aus in the next 18 months or so.

Well until 1 July at least. After the country will be in a paradox with a barely conservative lower house and a barely left upper house.

The Democrats seem to be having one last middle finger to the Australian people - it seems that it is their preferences going to the Libs in the ACT senate that will prevent the Greens from picking up a spot their.

As for what Abbott might do before 1 July, he obviously can't be OTT. Because come 1 July NOTHING will get through the upper house and a Double Dissolution won't really make much difference for the Senate.

Looks like the Wozzies will elect the first Aboriginal to the House of Reps ...

For the Libs no less.


Farken traitor to his people.

Apparently Wilson Tuckey looks like losing to a National.

It's a bit strange ...his nephew is the Opposition Treasurer in the Wozzie parliament ...

They've got to count Geraldton yet (according to Greeny) ...I still think Wilson will make it

Won't be long before Trev makes a comment about black people having a good election day...

Would have been a refreshing change if Gillard had come out and said 'well. we really screwed the pooch on this one...'

As at a moment ago on the AEC site:

Two Party Preferred

Votes Counted: 74.46%

ALP 5,005,010 50.58%
Coalition 4,891,027 49.42%

Farque me ...she's taken a hammering at the ballot box and she comes out spouting how farquing good theyve been ...

[Zat]

And, once the speech is done, will Julia get to go hojme to Tim what the country has done to her?

[taipan]

Farque me ...she's taken a hammering at the ballot box and she comes out spouting how farquing good theyve been ...

Did I read somewhere that she is actually Welsh?

[embee]

She is , Taips

Compounded by being raised in Sozzie and representing the Vomits

[Leo]

Dear oh dear.

Interesting times.

Exit polls badly off... people didn't want to admit to voting for Abbott perhaps?

Erm, no, she may win the 2PP and has certainly done better than Howard did in 1998.

Abbott would have won by 10 seats if Rudd had been PM.

[Zat]

Antony Green suggesting that the ALP and Coalition may both wind up with 72 seats, with 6 'others'.

Recipe for disaster whoever gets to form government.

Theres a swing of 2.6%* against the last election results ...that's the hammering

If they'd been as good as she'd spouted they wouldnt have had to sack Rudd and they would have at least held their 07 vote

Howard had a 13 seat majority after '98 ...the pinkos farqued up by not stacking the electorates properly

*according to the AEC website at the moment

ALP + Green + green leaning independent = 74-72-4

Probable that the Coalition can't win a no-confidence vote without independent support.

Julia is PM until the independents decide she isn't.

Howard suffered a 4.61% swing in 1998 but won...was that a hammering too?

[Invader Zim]

Nope...all first term Governments since WWII have suffer swings against them...

Menzies -1.40% 1954
Whitlam -1.00% 1974
Fraser -1.10% 1977
Hawke -1.46% 1984
Howard -4.61% 1998
Gillard - ?? 2010

Howard decided to introduce the GST ....most of the swing came from that

How many of those govts had to sack the PM?

[Zat]

Just flicked over to channel 7, after switching between ABC and Sky.

It was election night for dummies.

And probably rated the best of the lot.

[JGK]

That qunt Abbott basically made a victory speech. Still, at least 2 of his daughters are highly bangable.


Zim - do you want to share a house somewhere in Melbourne?

[JGK]

In other news, turns out that I voted for comedian "Austen Tayshus". He ran under his actual name Alexander Gutman for the Sex Party in my electorate.

Grouse.
