Where The ALP Lost Its Longtime Supporters

[icyfroth]

LAST Saturday, in polling booths inside $14.2 billion worth of new school halls constructed under Labor's Building the Education Revolution program, a bare 33.9 per cent of Australian electors voted for Labor candidates.   

So what went wrong for Labor?

These groups weren't so much voting for the Coalition as against their own party.

I think that about sums it up in a nut shell.

Not so much that the Liberals under Tony Abbott  are perceived to be significantly more effective at governing, just that they are able to show a unified front and more stabililty and professianalism than the ALP with all it's bickering and backstabbing and infighting.

Look at them still bickering and attacking each other, even in defeat they can't regroup and put forward a leading representative.

Hi Ibis sad but that is all Labor supporters can do is spill out propaganda, they never mention how they are indoctrinating our children in school and university with their leftie rubbish.

Some may not be happy if the history and meaning of the Eureka flag is taken out ?

It has nothing to do with vilification, meh. My comments were based on the results of vote compass, which recorded the political leanings of hundreds of thousands of Australians. The results showed the most right wing people come from western Queensland, where an amazing array of intolerant and uneducated views were displayed. I believe this correlates with falling education standards and cuts in that region.

what the heck does western queensland have to do with the landslide victory?

take away mt isa and how many people live out there? probably about a hundred at the most

See? Thus my schools and education comment.

Yes, Yes, Yes and double Yes, agree whole heartedly.

Just watch the Labor voters change this thread into something negitive about the LNP
