Default Labour Government
So Labour is in.... I'm sure from previous posts a lot of the posting community will be happy. I personally am not really thrilled.... But not a lot we can do about it now....

I'm so disappointed! Apparently 400,000 more votes to coalition than ALP....
Alas, I'll survive.... Hopefully they'll just again in 12 months.... Let's see how this goes! I'll admit, I'm going to complain much just yet. Minority govt will change things dramatically I feel....

Change is a good thing. It's going to be a tough 3 years but we might actually make some progress.

In 1998, the Coalition won 200,000 votes less popular votes than the ALP but still formed government based on seats.

So we're evens!

Perhaps we'll collect the next time round. I'm weary of Julia Foolia, but I guess time will tell us all....

Thats irrelevant, Australia does not have a first past the post system.

We have preferential voting in the House of Representatives and a mixed proportional-preferential system in the Senate.
