Australia Elections

Shouting in bold on the internet. You have yourself a special day now, ya hear? lol

It was in bold since you appeared to have difficulty in understanding what I post so I thought I would provide you with extra emphasis for your edification. I take it as a personal insult when I am accused of being a Liberal.

You’re also not an American and you count for absolutely nothing when it comes to US politics.

Who the ■■■■ cares what you are? :rofl:

Given the number of posts by you in this thread, you obviously do.

Wait. I’m confused. It’s like everything is upside-down.

So the Lib party beat the Labor party, and …

Pretty sad state of affairs when there aren’t even conservative parties (or even fake conservative parties) in play, and libbies are upset that the Lib party won… What’s up with that? Lib party isn’t lib enough?

… in collusion with the NRA … and Trump.

No the Liberal Party DID NOT beat the Labor Party. The Liberals won 45 seats and Labor won 67 on the current projections.

In Australianspeak, apparently Liberal Party means Conservative, so that is why the Trump hater will never go to a Liberal Party.

So it is the three parties, Liberal, Liberal National Party, and National Party combined, (I’d guess in individual Districts, the Liberal Party didn’t run serious candidates so their coalition Partner could win) got 77 seats far outpacing the Labor Party. 44-23-10 outscores 66.It looks like there is a green Party that has one seat for those I guess they want to get rid of cows and stop driving cars and flying

Actually it is two parties. In Qld the parties are combined into the LNP; though the candidates are aligned to one of the two. There were some three cornered contests between Labor, Liberals and Nationals.The electorate (seat) won by the Greens is an inner-Melbourne one. The remainder were won essentially by Independents (though one is aligned to a minor party). The Liberals did lose one RWNJ. One last point is the Australian Electoral Commission is the independent body responsible for the drawing of the electoral boundaries and the conduct of our federal elections. We have similar bodies for our state elections.

I think it’s an attempt to overcome some readers glaucoma.

US politics is six foot under. Not so down under.

Interesting. This bot’s Al-Gore-Rhythms are getting wittier. :thinking:

Well that’s disappointing. But you’re cool anyway.

Virtually all Democrats would be far to the right of me.

We have that in the US. as well they are the Bernie Sanders wing of the Democratic Party - or Democrat Socialist as they call themselves.
