>The center-right government of Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison held onto power Saturday after a surprise surge in national elections that left some pundits making comparisons to President Trump’s poll-defying win in 2016.
>The apparent upset victory was the latest election to trample predictions by polling firms, which all showed Morrison’s political bloc trailing the opposition Labor Party.
>It also carried other uncanny parallels with Trump’s rise.
>In Australia’s coal country, Morrison was seen as an ally to protect jobs against a push for more renewal energy and greater efforts to battle climate change. Morrison draw further support with promises of tax cuts and a tough line on immigration, contrasting with Labor’s call for more social programs and less-stringent migrant policies.
>“This is a complete shock,” said Zareh Ghazarian, a political science lecturer at Monash University in Melbourne. “We have completely expected an opposite thing for two years. Voters rejected the big picture. They have endorsed a government that has run on a very presidential campaign and on its management of the economy.”

We won some and we lost some, but the greatest victory was keeping Labour and other socialist scum out. We'd have been right fucked if they won.

I am happy to hear, and may you get many many eons without leftists in power. I would not surprise me if leftists goes full 1984 if they ever get power again anywhere in the world.

I dunno man, i've always been team Liberal Democrats but i'll take Labor over the Coalition purely because Labor taxes small business less than big business. As good as it sounds on paper, most corporation figureheads are too addicted to short term gain to make Reagonomics work.

Any gain you'd get from small businesses being taxed less would be lost in the open tide of uneducated shitskins from the third world cleaving chunks out of the federal budget.
