Will Labor be banished throughout the land?.. YES

Will Labor be banished throughout the land?... YES but they and their small band of supporters will still not get the message

Only once before has the ALP been exiled from office nationwide. This time the dry spell could be a lot more testing.

With the exception of a small oasis in the Australian Capital Territory, as of this weekend it looks highly probable that the ALP will be consigned to opposition throughout the land. T

he likely defeat of Jay Weatherill's government in South Australia and Lara Giddings' government in Tasmania will leave Labor languishing out of office federally and in all of the states.

Perhaps you are not old enough to know that it has happened before and it will happen again.  It goes in cycles.  There will come a time when we will have wall to wall Labor.  Then it will change back.  I fail to see what there is to celebrate.  It is what it is.

Perhaps you failed to read. what I posted.. .. yes it would seem so

from the story...... Only once before has the ALP been exiled from office nationwide. This time the dry spell could be a lot more testing.

ONLY once before in 1969..... so there isnt "a  cycle" as you have put it....    Australis are FED up with labor and the greens

And yes it is a time to celebrate,,, The majority of Australians will be happy, the very small minority of left and labort will not be

f we do get a 'clean sweep' I hope you'll be cheering just as loudly when Abbott whacks up the GST by 5% or more to make up for what he's going to lose by abolishing the miners tax.

I was right.  You are not old enough to have seen the pattern.

Someone missed the point.

[polksaladallie]

They sure did.  I wish I wasn't this old, but can't do anything about it.

No, not what I meant.
