Mediocrity = Labour IMO.
this country won't will struggle to go forward now.
I'm with you U2Tigers.
ALP across the whole country in all states and in Federal parliament = Unions and economic downturn.
I do not want to hear any complaints from the people on here who helped this happen....and I will be on here more than ever now watching for people whingeing and whining...saying, "Serve you right...told you so" ;D
Strikes galore....teachers, nurses, breweries at Christmas, firemen....and wait until the manufacturers and construction mob start walking off site.
Then you have the interest rates going up and up.... :-\
But honestly, we have this every few years...where the ALP *smile* up the economy...the Libs come in and fix it up for a period.
Young voters coming through in their late teens and early 20s see people like Hawke and now Rudd as 'cool PM' material...they vote them into power, they *smile* up the economy once again, and then the young voters who voted the ALP into power are more conservative and mature with their finances and then vote the Libs back in to fix it all up again.
What we are witnessing tonight is just a phase of this cycle.
Rudd has gone around spruiking his "education revolution" and "working families" slogans with his "KEVIN07" t-shirts, hi-fiving schoolkids and the like.....and the ALP have been very good over the years of gaining the young voters.
These young voters grow up and start a family, save money for a house, and realise that the ALP are useless at handling the economy and that is more important to people in their 30s+ than a PM with a slogan on a t-shirt....so they swicth their vote to the Libs.
4 years of rubbish coming up......I hope that when the Libs get back in next time, the economy is in better condition than when Howard/Libs got in last time.
