NSW State Election 2011

[Azza]

What a swing to the coalition.

This is the biggest election train wreck in the history of Australian Politics surely?

Some seat swings are as high as 36% - statewide swing of around 17%.

That's what happens when the Labor machine focuses on itself and not the people.

Will Barry O'Farrell be any better........time will tell.........for NSW sake I hope so........

I reckon landslide elections nearly always end-up being a bad thing for the electorate. The fact the libs have been out for so long makes it even worse. There'll be a swathe of completely impractical decisions from inexperienced ministers that will take years to fix-up.

I reckon she still is.

Agreed, there is something about her.

It seems Antony Green's calculator is predicting Pauline Hanson to score a seat in the Legislative Council, although he believes that this may not happen.
