It's amazing how Putin keeps winning all these elections, isn't it?
Not really.
Doesn't he just kill the opposition off?

Looks like it can't happen this financial year because of bureaucratic issues.
There may be a rebate next financial year.
I can't imagine Scott Morrison would renege on a central policy right from the getgo.
I'll bet your testicles on that.

I'm not sure why everyone is so excited about it. I've seen nothing to suggest that the winners are actually on the Right. They look to be box standard modern "Conservatives" - that is - not very conservative at all. A lot of talk; too much pandering to the media and political opponents; no hard line policies about anything, no balls. I expect nothing but politically treading water until the next election while the Australian nation continues to sink further into the sea.
It is time to be cautious.
Not the time for social experimentation.
The economic situation isn't the best and will probably get worse (a lot of it due to American/Chinese trade-wars/tensions).
The conservatives are known for economic acuity/acumen, compared to the left.
I'd rather have a conservative government in troubled economic times since "we all know" that the right tends to be more pragmatic rather than engage in economic suicidal virtue-signalling.
Australia is a puff of blue smoke in the scheme of thing in regards to climate change, after all.

The *far* left is showing Australia how emotionalistic they are with their baby boo boo temper tantrums. Bwahahahaha.
Indeed, we dodged a bullet here in Oz.
Heaven help us if sanctimonious, virtue-signalling, tunnel-visioned, biased emotionalists had a disproportionate say in what happens in Australia.
But then again, who wants a rational approach to government? <sarcasm>
Please, let the *far* left emigrate to New Zealand.
Don't fight for your political position here.
That just makes the coalition stronger.
Not an emotionalist approach to the erection defeat at all. <sarcasm> <chuckle>
But before you go, please pick up your dummies.
After all, they are bad for the environment. <chuckle>

I'm not trying to be partisan, but why does The Left blame the "stupid voters" for their losses at the polls? I mean, if The Left wants to attract votes, they should first make themselves attractive to voters, amiright?[/color]
How else should it work in a Democracy?
Why would anyone vote for policies they don't like, agreed.
The Labor Party learnt the hard way and they are doing a major rethink in how to approach the next erection.
Anthony Norman Albanese is considered by conservative commentators as too left wing for the job, but he does satisfy the criteria of opposition leader in other areas.
<Yoda mode activated>
In he looks like he will be.
Q: What sort of car does Yoda drive?
A: A Toyoda.

Right now there is all sorts of talk about Biden’s increasing lead in the polls being driven by strategic voting, the idea the left realizes they are too radical for the country in order to beat Trump so they have to vote for the more moderate candidate, not the candidate who most agrees with them.
Right-wing commentators are saying that Anthony Albanese is going to have to contort himself into being more centralised, against his intrinsic political value system he has supported for around 23 years professionally.
I don't know enough about the man to agree or disagree.
I have 3 years to research him, Yay.
