Bloody Labor.

People keep voting for those commie arseholes.

A significant swing (~ 3.8%) to the Libs but not enough to win this seat.

On the other hand, although the average swing in a byelection is around 3% ... in a first term Government it is only 1.3%

The swing in Dunkley of Around 3.8% if transferred Nationwide at the next General Election, would see Labor thrown out of office.

I don't think Labor should be very smug about this result.

Labors primary vote went UP. The libs only gained votes that would have otherwise gone to Clive or Pauline.  They took nothing from Labor,  which is a great result for a sitting govt. You can try to diminish the results for Labor if you like,  but the reality is they exceeded even their own expectations.

Average swing since federation is 4% and liberals couldn't even win that , not to mention Labor won on first preferences 🤣

As I said, if this swing of about 4% is replicated at the next General election, Labor will be thrown out of office.

Labor won the last General Election with a swing of 3.6%

Tassie next and a sea of red  :)

Having a sea of red states can work against the Federal party as sometimes people vote the opposite to the state to "achieve a balance".  ;)

Good - but we'll still have mass immigration.   >:(

You beat me to it Nemo.

It's usually one Party ruling the majority or all States, while the other rules the National/Federal Level.

Australia is in a constant state of 'stalemate' mate.

Spud atop the manure pile because you have no alternative  ;D

No. It's just pretty sad that Australia 'lacks choice'.
The Public being nothing more than a ping-pong ball between Ping (NLP) and Pong (ALP).

We have x6 States and some Territories that could constitute a factor of x8.
Why we can't have x8 'major' Parties to vote for?
Well I do know - the ALPong and NLPing 'both' won't allow it because it means the end of the road for both parties.

Voting in Australia has become a complete BORE.

Having a sea of red can work against a federal party. then again,  it might not.

Having Dutton most definitely will work against a federal party . No ifs or buts

Yeah, and the Libs lost because they had a foreigner as a candidate, Scottish or Irish or something, certainly not Aussie. Whereas the Labs had a traditional Aussie

Yes and I've learnt to never trust Irish people - they're all swindlers.

You just breached the rules and changed my post.
You have been reported to a Gmod and hopefully be banned, as I have been for doing such myself.
Lessons learned.

What a loser  :D

No. You're the Loser because you prefer to not play by the rules.
You're the loser because you break the rules and get banned.

Then you sook and cry 'Emotional Blackmail' like a scabbing bludging 'Houso' looking for a Free Pass because because because...  ::)

Also 'Loser'.

Ask your bum-chum 'Little Pink' Peccary what he would have done?
Afterall - he complained to Gmods to get me banned for doing such. Lesson learned by me, eh? ;)

You can make all the excuses you want, you're still a loser. And you'll more than than likely die a loser if your posts are anything to go by. :D

What a little boy intellect you have.
You definitely lack style as well.
Did you go "Nananananna" behind your computer too when you worked hard to come up with that post as a response?  ;D ;D ;D ;D  ;D ;D ;D

They're not excuses (except in your denial mind of fear to admit the truth).
They're facts.  ;)

Suck on it Smith  ;D
