Poirot, <the public "are" apathetic and easily swayed, often stupid and they are 24 carat suckers for "political spin">

Ah, but the public are not superior beings such as yourself.

Foxy, <Gay marriage and other vital issues>

You need to get out more.

'Now, in the aftermathy - this election campaign must
surely rank as the least enlightening and most
dispiriting election campaign in Australian history '

certainly for the losers foxy. Mind you Rudd was fairly upbeat about Labour getting 34% of the vote. He seemed to think that it was heroic.

runner,

That because the Liberal Party gained "less than" 34% of the vote.

runner,

Just on that point....

Labor gained its lowest primary vote for a century this election.....yet still managed more votes than the Liberal Party.

Labor - 33.7 %

Liberal - 31.9 %

OTB in your view what is comment.
Too what is opinion.
Do you understand both may not be the same for any two folk?
I like to think of myself as a realist.
Not always right but for sure, in my view, far more often than you.
You wear blinkers, not unlike many, you look for bad only in my side.
And good only in yours, at the cost of balance and yes truth.
Playing poker do you sit with a mirror behind you, would you expect me to say my party is sinking mid election.
*I firmly* believe we by our actions and inactions, letting the HSU survive, not picketing the NSW FILTH, helped our defeat.
Too that most if not all of our policy,s had nothing to do with it.
That, to be seen this time next year, voters ,some, will be uncertain/upset at Abbott,s teams actions.
OTB we are not mates, rarely agree, yet both of us have the right to our opinion.
And in putting them up? both have the right to differ.
The ALP has left devision and in fighting behind it.
It grew at voters hands, once more is concentrating, bar a few idiots hello Emerson you great dill! is my proud party again.
PS Rudd will do as he must leave the house he never needed the idiots reminder..
