Labor Party Losing Ground To The Coalition
Dec 23rd, 2010 at 8:23am
 
According to the latest polls and findings from Newspoll, Prime Minister Julia Gilliard and her Labor Party are losing ground and it is showing a nationwide turn of dissatisfaction and more compassion for the the Coalition Party. Polls over the last month or two have shown that Coalition Leader Tony Abbott is getting more and more support and all indications are showing that Abbott has good chance of unseating the Prime Minister in the upcoming election.

All of the Newspoll ratings and polls have shown a steady decrease in the approval of the Labor Party and a slow but steady increase in the approval of the opposing party. The latest numbers show that Tony Abbott has about a 3 or 4 point advantage over Julia Gilliard.
This sentiment though is being shared all throughout Australia and Australians are making their voices heard and are concerned about the direction and future of the country. The economy is certainly a big topic in this election.

With the election just eight months away, current numbers are showing that the Coalition Party and Tony Abbott have a 52 to 48 lead over the Labor Party and PM Julia Gilliard. This is the first time that the Coalition has held a four point lead in the polls since 2006 when John Howard was the Prime Minister. Prime Minister Gilliard’s party has been on a constant downward spiral since the departure of Kevin Rudd, whom she replaced, and the constant disapproval of the way the party has been going, even amongst its own leaders.

Noone wants Labor in and Greens preferencing Labor will result in a huge slide in their vote-base next election, the public not wanting to vote green to help Labor limp to the finish line again.

People are already regretting having voted ALP by 'Green' proxy.

So expect a poor Greens result at the next election, by which time, Greens will have lost their gloss, well and truly.

Liberals go on about Labor yet only have 5% more in Primary.

Wait until next year when Liberals split over climate change.

In a first past the post, that'd be good enough to win Government.

The current system is absurd, it allows in small parties like Greens.

I hope Abbott takes a leaf out of Baillieu's book and announces they will preference Greens last in every seat.

It worked to a tee in VIC.

Why do you fail to recognise the Coalition, with its primary vote of 41%?

I don't think it will matter, as I think most peoples focus has shifted away from 'Al Gores'  climate change, and onto multiple rate hikes all within months of Labor being in, and more are on the way after Xmas.

The focus will be on soaring living expenses, jobs, rate hikes, labors failure to follow through with ANY of it's pre-electoral promises, the let-down over the Murray-Darling (Greens have been rather quiet on this front, and the BHP Olympic dam proposal secreted in Labor) the messy handling of the Wikileaks and refugee affairs, lack of affordable housing, little or no infrastructure to justify the squandering of a once healthy surplus left behind by a more responsible Liberal government back in 2007....I mean the list is endless...but I can assure you, "Global Warming" is not the flavour of the month, nor will it be as things get tougher in the lead up to what will be a sure-fire Liberal victory....however modest the coalition are being about this.

One sentence will destroy Greens vote-base....of which is..

A vote for Greens is a vote for a Labor government 'AGAIN'.


I think people/voters have finally had their fill of a crack-pot Green-Labor alliance, are over the hype of having their first ever female PM and just want this government out.

I mean, it's all very lovely to express concern over the environment, though have Labor defined what they will invest their carbon-tax revenue in, this or can even justify why a tax of this nature would prove beneficial in a global-environmental context, when company's will only take their industry off-shore and pollute developing nations elsewhere and take once Aussey jobs with them?

Labor have failed to deliver, and Greens will be seen as THAT 'power broking alliance' serving an illegitimate government doing absolutely nothing even remotely relevant to their own partys core values.
Not everyone is gay, or a refugee, time the Greens woke up to this fact and started being true to their own core political values.

And when the fall-out starts over the contemptuous actions of the NSW Labor (excuse for a) government in selling off  power for bargain basement prices, Federal Labor's stock will more than likely plunge.

Am I the only person who noticed the mistakes in this post of mel lies ?
I hate to tell you neo cons with little woodies over the poll, but the next election is 2 and a half years away.
Labors numbers mixed with GREENS preferences should still ensure a Labor gov is re elected.
