The elections boils down to a simple question: did you think the economy, people you know and yourself was better off in the last 6 years? If yes - vote labor, if no - vote lib. If unsure - vote minority parties (as it will have 0 effect on the outcome of the election).
Who's made their decisions on the election?

I thought the question was "Who looks better in makeup?"hem9 said:

Any thoughts on the Pirate Party?
They're one of the best IMO. Worth putting high on the list.libertadiac said:
They misrepresent Pirates. It's nothing but an party that likes illegal free downloads which I have no problem with, but they certainly have no debortuary or sea-wench policies let alone gold and silver policies
^ That's a bit unfair. They have a whole gamut of policies besides IP.

I have a bit to do with them in the past but drifted away from their ideologies. Does Hodges still run it?
Wish we still had the Workers Party. Was probably even better than the LDP.

The way the party fell apart after his 2007 defeat?
Part of being a leader/CEO is proper succession planning, to be able to do this you need peers, not underlings, you need people able to step up into positions, people who can think.
Howard systematically squashed any dissension in the party during his 4 terms (citation needed ;P)
This left only Costello to pick up the reigns, when Howard stepped down, but Howard got greedy and refused to hand over power as he was supposed to.
Only after losing the election did Howard try to hand over power, Costello quite rightly refused the poisoned chalice he was offered and quit.
The party was in turmoil unable to properly execute because a power vacuum was left behind, anyone who would have been able to step up was no longer there.
You can't honestly tell me you think Abbott has good political sense.
As much as I didn't like Howard he was a shrewd if uncharismatic politician. Compared to The current bumbling of Rudd and Abbott he was amazing.
Kevin tried to do the same thing in the labor party and that is why they outed him, their only mistake was not squashing him properly when they had the chance, against their own better judgement they took him back several months ago because they thought they might win, this is the same greed that lost Howard the election in 2007, doesn't look like it is serving them very well now does it....
*shrugs* feel free to disagree with me but if you try to tell me the Liberals are executing policy + politics right now as well as they were when Howard was at the helm I will not be able to stop laughing at you.

You voting for them?
Australia First and Aust Protectionist Party should merge. They are only splitting the right wing vote.
Better off voting Christian Democrat who have a marginally better chance. If in NSW, state election wise, the Chris. Dems always win 1-2 senate seats.
