2007 State Election - Labor or the Coalition/Iemma or Debnam? (4 Viewers)

[ccc123]

Well i can't vote, but i'd ber going for liberal. Labor has done nothing in the last decade or so that its been in power.

 

[withoutaface]

Liberals to take Pittwater, Hawkesbury and Manly from independents, Wollondilly and Miranda from Labor. Nationals to take Tweed, Murray-Darling and perhaps one other seat. Greens will remain seatless in the lower house.

 

[Nebuchanezzar]

I guess that Camden isn't regarded as a swing seat any more then?

 

[withoutaface]

It is, just as Menai and Kiama are, but I can't see Libs picking up all those five ALP swing seats we've mentioned.

 

[wheredanton]

An O'Farrell/Goward ticket for 2011 looks more and more appealing by the day. Do David Clarke, Charlie Lynn and others in the Right Faction understand that they are the reason for such an ineffective and mediocre campaign?

That team would win in 2011, unless the ALP pulls it's socks up significantly in the next four years. The other alternative is that the Liberals implode afer this election and totally rule themselves out as an opposition party.

 

[what971]

1. Unity
2. Christian Democrats
3. Labor
4-10000000. Others
Last Place. Liberal.

 

[Sparcod]

I dn't think that the minor parties (not independents) will win seats in the lower house. I might be wrong here. Who knows.

I'm supporting them in the Upper House though.
My top 2 will be the Greens and the Democrats.

Experiences handing out ALP brochures on polling day in Camden electorate:

Lots of people despise the CDP, no surprises there. The Liberal party brochures were surprisingly being turned down by a lot of people in a swinging electorate, whereas people seemed a lot more friendly toward the Labor brochures. Overall, most people seemed to appreciate the Greens. If I was to form some kind of weirdo prediction based on peoples reactions to brochures, I'd predict a pretty big win in Camden for the ALP.

 

[Josie]

Yeah, everyone would have been abusing the CDP person here, except she was a really cute little lady, so everyone just took the brochure and ignored it. The Greens were highly popular, everyone completely ignored the Liberal guy, and our Labor member is the Minister For Getting On TV (David Campbell, ex lord Mayor of W'gong)... Predicting the usual labor landslide, with Greens the only ones anywhere near. Keira, this is.

Iemma says Labor could still lose

Labor is well-ahead in the opinion polls and is expected to hold its eight seat majority, with the latest Newspoll putting it ahead of the coalition at 56.5 per cent to 43.5 per cent on a two-party preferred basis.

 

[Triangulum]

I'm a few days too young to vote, but I got my mum to pick up the how-to-vote cards for my electorate, Blue Mountains. (She says she was really embarassed having to get the CDP one.)

Interestingly, a lot of parties (Greens, Liberals) preferenced the independent, Robert Stock, and no one else. Greens aren't giving preferences to Labor (in the upper house or in Blue Mountains), which must make the ALP angry. Of course, many Green voters in the Mountains will make their own decisions on preferencing.

Greens are asking people to preference seven different groups in the upper house, for some reason best known to themselves. In order:
Group I (Greens)
Group G (Democrats)
Group F (I think a group of independents, which the ALP is also preferencing; led by one Patrice Newell)
Group H (Another group of independents; led by Kerry McNally)
Group S (Human Rights Party)
Group Q (Socialist Alliance)
Group R (Save our Suburbs)
(Anyone know anything about the two independent groups?)

CDP wants us to 'Do the Right Thing' and embrace 'Aussie Family Values'. Jerks. Seriously unflattering photo of Fred Nile. They're preferencing the Libs, then the ALP, in the upper house. Hilariously, the would-be CDP candidate for Blue Mountains filled out a change-of-address form incorrectly and was denied candidacy.

Liberals are giving upper-house prefs to the CDP, which makes me dislike them even more.

 

[Josie]

That one they send around of Fred Nile makes me want to puke. He's so smug, and ugly looking.

 

[Nebuchanezzar]

That's exactly what someone said to me when she saw the Fred Nile sign.



"Oh look at that guy! *points to sign* He's an ugly fella"

 

[Triangulum]

I wonder what the trade school-attending youngster (he looks like he's about 15) talking to Morris on the back of the Labor HTVs thinks about his sudden fame.

 

[Rafy]

My election result prediction:

Labor win (55/45 2PP)
Legislative Assembly: Labor 51, Liberal/National 33, Independent 9

 

[Rafy]

A Sky News exit poll in 12 maginal seats is showing a 5% swing against Labor.

 

[kokodamonkey]

My election result prediction:

Labor win (55/45 2PP)
Legislative Assembly: Labor 51, Liberal/National 33, Independent 9

labour have 18more seats then the coalition? hahahahahahah rofl.

 

[what971]

Although I hope Labor wins, I hope the election becomes close. I wouldn't want these Labor nutters thinking that we're giving them a strong mandate til the next election when they've actually done a terrible job in nearly everything I can think of.
