Australian Elections Results

I hope for a Labor victory.

More interestingly is that the current Prime Minister is in trouble in his own seat/electorate. Historically, only once has a Prime Minister lost his own seat Australian elections.

Looking at current results: they are coming from the Eastern states. Western Australia only closed its polling booth, 15 minutes ago (due to time differences).

A labor victory would show a degree of dissatisfaction with our current US relationship

Thanks Midge, this is informative to me. I understand fully well from your posts that you don't hate the U.S. or U.S. people, only current U.S. policies. I concur for the most part with this sentiment. So I thank you for the good information. I'll be keenly looking forward to the results of your elections, and I will educate myself more fully on the implications.

Latest update the government has fallen, the opposition takes power (unofficial result endorsed by a few candidates of each party).

I am cracking a bottle of Champagne right now. The liar prime minister hasn't outlived his lies (and might still loose his seat although unlikely, but still a slap in the face swingers from his own constituency). I hope the US gives a similar result in its presidential elections. Good luck!

Cheers yukoncpa! The more we understand that election results anywhere in the world have some impact on our lives the better off we will be.

I am taking a drink of my champagne, and think of you, a citizen of the US, who has so much more influence on the world.

Cheers dude! Hope your life will get better and better! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

PS Waiting for the PM to concede defeat on TV. I would say within 60-90 minutes! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

My two cents. One should check which countries turned left (= almost all those which have strongly supported Bush's policy). In those countries which have refused Bush's policy other issues prevail over war / moral issues. I'm sure some posters will find some exceptions, but those should check a general situation worldwide first. Hopefully most people reject wars / terror / double standards; it's quite easy to predict a continuation of turning left in many countries or US closest allies in case of war against Iran. Cheers mates.
