I think the last 13 years have been friggin' awesome.
I seriously enjoyed the longest economic boom EVER EVER EVER.
We've weathered the GLOBAL recession. We're on track for recovery.
Interest rates have been mental low, when I had a mortgage I saved thousands and thousands which I spent on PC computer games and paying off the mortgage.
It's been a fantastic 13 years, best of my life, with 18 months of GLOBAL recession. I can hardly think of ANY Labour decisions I disagree with. And I am well into the 40% tax bracket but I WANT AND WELCOME higher tax. Because I want the best, fairest society possible, and to live in a country where we help the weak. Because I'm a nice guy.
If they are living in that constituency for a considerable period of the office being voted for why should they be denied their say?
anecdotal. It's anecdotal evidence. Trust me
anecdote: a short account of a particular incident or event of an interesting or amusing nature
data: ( used with a plural verb ) individual facts, statistics, or items of information.
It's definitely the latter.
2007 - Labor majority
2004 - Liberal/National coalition
2001 - Liberal/National coalition
1998 - Liberal/National coalition
Then I gave up looking. Had to form coalition governments to get majority in the House of Representatives.
Also look at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_federal_election,_2007
Australian Greens with 7% of the vote got no seats. Clearly whilst it may have proportional representation, it is limited in its ability of bringing it about.

In that case, theres no way for lab ti get a majority as even with the libs they would only be on 307 seats. Can a minority government run the country?

Hey man, if you can't argue, don't argue.
Or shall we take turns saying
'No, you are the fool'
'NOOO, you are the fool'
??
Sounds dull. Can you just pretend I'm saying it back to you, and play on your own?
hoho. Indeed ..
Have you broken down? You just repeated a previous post? Are you a Labour Bot?
Yes.

Well seeing as no party has gotten over 50% of votes at least since WWII, maybe even earlier, no party would have over 50% of the seats

Indeed I am a terminator.
Robgmun - you must feel a little distraught that the tories messed up so bad? You are 100% true-blue. Don't you feel Cameron must have dropped the ball somewhat from the crazy-high polls he enjoyed 2 months ago?
fully agree, id rather have gordon brown as PM and leader of the labour party then mandleson
I made one mistake though. Corrected 2007.
From what I can see, if you think of the Liberal/National coalition as one party, its entirely a 2 party system. No one else gets seats and so of course you will end up with a majority all the time.

Seems to be acting like a Labour MP, and lapping up all the rubbish they've been spouting over the years, ignoring the facts and evidence of a badly ruled country
And missed that 5 elections from '83 to '93 were all ALP, here's all results since 1901 for your interest;
