Re: Australian Election - 24 November

Anyone care to share their political affiliations/who they'll be voting for? I'm a Liberal all the way (conservative politics, allied with business owners, support privatization, but still with public health and education systems)

Died in the wool labor voter. I dont see a big difference between the two, but prefer to err on the side of social safety net in any conflict between social services and pro-profit policies.
It seems to me there are a few differences between the two this election. I think the health policies are clearly different (though I dont like either), I like labor's view on higher education as I think the rundown over the last ten years has been very unfortunate and obviously industrial relations is a clear distinction. Climate change seems like a false issue to me (though Howard's late conversion after quite adamant skepticism looks embarassing in my view) - I doubt either of them is going to have the stomach to do anything substantive.
My guess is a labor majority of 6-8 seats.
