Can Anyone Say "Landslide"?
I'm feeling a bit hopeful and optimistic about the election thing.
If the polls continue the way they are...
And the swing is consistent across the whole country...
We might be talking a landslide people...
A good landslide means at least two terms in office. This has worked a treat for Labor here in Victoria - you win enough seats the first time around, it'd take something drastic to lose the next election... Yay.
And I've been doing my part - I spent a good $17 today on pre-paid envelopes to send out a campaign schedule to my comrades in the Northcote Branch :-)

Re: landslide
However, when a swing is on, a swing is on. When people have decided a government has to go, they can then give them a drubbing.
There is a school of thought that suggests people wanted to vote Labor last time around, but didn't like Latham. Which would explain the jump in the polls when Rudd stepped in...
