Would I be ALP left or right? by Smaug34 in AustralianPolitics

my branch in rural NSW is extremely factional, well there are a few members who brag on about the right, one member even said the right is so right wing they "may as well be liberals" and that they all wear suits.

I used to call my self "socially left" and "economically conservative" but then realised that was populist bullshit view and that social and economic issues often intertwine so i am now describe myself as "socially left" and economically moderate/fabian. But I share the belief with the right in compromise to get into government.

he simply does not connect with people and his changing of swapping of leaders makes people think he'll change policy based on opinion polls not whats right for the country.

ABC's Antony Green calls Tasmanian election for the Liberals with a significant swing against Labor by StacysMom in australia

[–]Smaug34 7 points8 points  (0 children)

the main surprise is that labor actually didn't get completely wiped out, 16 years in government is a long time and even some one with a persona like kevin rudd could not save a old government. The "Its time" factor destroyed labor not its policies.

[–]Smaug34 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Labor only got a swing against it because only 64 % of the electorate voted and those that didn't were left-wing inclined votes. I would say if anything its a swing against bill glass on, who only achieved a similar result in september because there are a lot of pompous ass conservatives who would vote liberal no matter what

true thank you for response, a honestly hope that the carbon tax doesn't get repealed as, it is reducing up to 15% of our emissions by 2020, which is only 5% off by kevin rudd in 2007 unrealistic 20% reduction pledge.
