Good day all. Australia just concluded a general election. It was expected that the Labour Party, (Their equivalent of the moonbat branch of the Democrat Party in the U.S.), would win walking away. Well, it seems that once again, the pollsters got it wrong.
Instead of the Labour Party winning in a landslide, it was the Liberal Party, (The American equivalent of the GOP RINO’s) that carried the day, and in a big way. This is making all of the usual suspects wonder “What the Hell happened?” Here are some of the details from News.com.au:
Scott Morrison has swept to victory in a sensational federal election result that defied the polls and cements the Coalition’s power. The Coalition is on track to win government, fending off Labor and Bill Shorten’s efforts to take over as prime minister.
Now, just to be clear, I do not follow Australian politics at all. While I do know some people in Australia, we don’t talk about the political situation down under. (Mostly due to my being a typical American and not giving a damn about the rest of the world)
As it stands, the Coalition is headed to form a minority government at least, but could still reach the 76 seats needed to form a majority government. There is no longer any path to victory for Labor.
Australia uses the Parliamentarian form of government as opposed to our form. (Which happens to be a superior form of course because, AMERICA!) The local elections select their ministers of parliament by voting for the party, not the individual. (In general) The party then selects their leaders and if they can form a government, the party head becomes the Prime Sinister Minister. From what the story is saying, the Labour Party was crushed and has no way to form any sort of government.
In a jubilant victory speech at the Liberal Party official election night function at Sydney’s Sofitel Wentworth hotel, Mr Morrison acknowledged the surprise win saying, “I have always believed in miracles”.
The Prime Minister said Mr Shorten had contacted him to concede defeat, and said he thanked the Labor leader for his “kind remarks to me and Jenny”.
“I would like to wish him and Chloe and his family all the best and God’s blessings,” he said.
Well, that is certainly different from what happened here in 2016, at least after the winner was declared. When “The inevitable winner” Felonia von Pantsuit lost, she was well into her second pitcher of Martinis. (The Felonia von Pantsuit drinking game. When you lose a state you thought you would in, drink a Martini) Once they sobered her up enough, she was able to concede to President-Elect Donald J. Trump.
It wasn’t until the next day that Felonia was able to stand in front of her supporters and give them the news. From what I’ve been reading, the Australian Labour candidate wasn’t smashed out of his gourd and was polite and professional in his concession. (Unlike every losing Democrat ever)
The Coalition’s bombshell triumph comes after repeated polls placed the ALP ahead of the Morrison Government, and the Prime Minister’s demise appeared assured.
Once again, the pollsters got it wrong big time.
Swings to the Coalition in Queensland turned the election on its head as early figures suggested the Government could hold on.
In his speech, as he went through and thanked individual Liberal MPs who held on to their seats, he also thanked “pretty much the whole of Queensland”.
As I mentioned before, I don’t follow Australian politics at all. I have no idea what their equivalent to our “Blue States, Red States” maps are. I’m also not up on the geography of Australia. (That’s what maps are for) From what I can gather, this may have been similar to states like Pennsylvania that were expected to vote Felonia actually voting for President Trump.
As the votes came in confidence began to grown among Liberal supporters. At the official Liberal Party function in Sydney exuberant young Liberal supporters were heard chanting that the Liberals were “an election winning machine”.
I recall seeing the news media’s response on how the 2016 vote was turning out. Early on, it was all Felonia all the time, saying that her victory was assured and that Donald Trump might as well concede right after the first polls closed on the East Coast. Then the actual results started coming in and the MSM went into shock and melted down faster then Chernobyl.
As for the reasons why Labour got their collectiv(ist) clocks cleaned, it was for the same reason as the Democrats did here. They claimed to represent the “Working class” when all their policies did nothing but hurt them.
“Labor used to be party for the workers, now it’s a party for people who don’t work,” one said.
Labor scrutineers told news.com.au older voters have punished the party for its higher-taxing agenda. States where the economy is not thriving — such as Queensland, WA and country areas — have backed the Liberals’ agenda focused on the economy and jobs.
Now that sounds surprisingly familiar, doesn’t it?
“A bold agenda is now dead forever in Australia,” a Labor scrutineer says as it became clear the election was turning against Shorten.
That “Bold Agenda” isn’t all that different from the Progressive totalitarian Liberal Democrats here in the United States. Massive taxation, punishing the successful and enslaving the population. (See the Green New Disaster Deal) Now Australia isn’t America. It’s politically just to the right of Karl Marx, even with the recent election.
However, this win by the Liberal party is the equivalent of Donald Trump defeating the crooked Felonia von Pantsuit with one big difference. I don’t believe that Bill Shorten ever solicited bribes, sold his office to foreign powers or set up a private, unsecured mail server and used to to send out top secret information. Now it’s up to the winners to build their government down under and Make Australia Great Again! (I wonder if President Trump might give Mr. Morrison a discount on MAGA hats?)
Thatisall
