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.

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.

BULLY

Referring to someone as a bully in the 16th century was like calling them “darling” or “sweetheart” – probably from the Dutch word “boel”, meaning lover or brother.

But the meaning deteriorated in the 17th century through “fine fellow” and “blusterer”, to “harasser of the weak”.

However, an American slang term of the 1860s, “bully for you”, gave the word a more positive sense again.
