I hope not.Australians are finally waking up and lurching towards the right.

I hate tony abbort, but I hate labor more.Because I don't experience it much in real life. I'd be hard pressed to come across someone as supportive of Liberal as people are here among most of the people I know. From my experience, there is a huge lack of support for Tony Abbott, and while Gillard isn't great by any means, I don't hear the vehemence against her as much as I do against him.
Now this is clearly biased because of the industry I'm in (entertainment), but it just feels strange.

That's your problem. You is in a bubble. Go hang with some suburban retailers or tradesmen etc.Because I don't experience it much in real life.

You are wrong.Imo the labor party will lose regardless of their leader
I don't think it is so much about people loving Tony Abbott, it is more about them hating Gillard and the Labor brand now. Once Rudd was deposed it has been a slippery slope for Labor.Because I don't experience it much in real life.

(we are just trying to fuck up Powlmao's poll by throwing votes at the fringe candidate,)Who is voting for dem Christians? Legit do you know what they want to do to us?

Look around the world; right wing (and even far right wing) parties are gaining significant traction as a result of the global financial crisis, failings in multiculturalism, increasing security concerns etc...
How so?You are wrong.
Oh, I know the arguments for Liberal. I used to be a heavy Liberal supporter myself. I just don't surround myself much with it now, because there's no need. I have no problem with people who do support Liberal and I can see why they'd do it, but it's not worth the time to hunt out and find new people, purely for the opposing political view.That's your problem. You is in a bubble. Go hang with some suburban retailers or tradesmen etc.
Rudd beats Abbott, although pretty well any other Liberal leader would beat Rudd.How so?
As a prime minister, maybe. But an election is often just as much about party policy than just the leader. Whilst the Liberals have shit policies too, i think the public is just sick and tired of labor rule tbh, and changing the leader won't do much except further damage the party's reputation in the eyes of votersRudd beats Abbott, although pretty well any other Liberal leader would beat Rudd.
This vote for party business is a fiction, only the deluded don't think the difference between a trusted leader and a mistrusted leader is at least four or five polling points.As a prime minister, maybe.

They need a lot more than 4-5 polling points to win imoThis vote for party business is a fiction, only the deluded don't think the difference between a trusted leader and a mistrusted leader is at least four or five polling points.
It's the opposite for me (live in GWS and everything Gillard does is horrible, apparently).Because I don't experience it much in real life.
