South Australian Election 2018

[VPS]

Surprised with the result. I really thought it would take days

Finally the hopeless SA Libs manage to win an election!

Good to see NX fail.

Very suprised also at the speed at which it was called, I thought we would be looking at an electoral basket case for at least a week.

At least the lights are still on.

Actually the result was the same as last election but the electoral boundaries a mess. This election they fixed them to be representative of the population and so they won.

And Turbo Tom is now blaming the electoral boundary remix stating they were created to make Labor lose. With that maths no wonder our finances are down the toilet. He was Finance Minister.

Weatherill is quitting as Leader. Move in Malinauskas? He will need to learn his manners first. He is no longer dealing with Unions.

Groundhog Day.

Fairness prevails

How is he or anyone going to do that, my employer has a large workshop there and it's been shrinking as the customers drop off I'm there each month and economy is shrinking as well.

Nice low cost of living (except power) place to retire but .....

Yes when the economy is shrinking, cost of living will be relatively cheap but less will be able to afford it - unemployment rate >7%. Would have been higher but I suspect many have moved on to other pastures. In 2017 SA population grew by only 0.6% on par with Tasmania

Jay blaming Lib for Privatising ETSA 1999?. What for when he didn’t do anything about it in the 16years except to make electricity the most expensive in the world and also unreliable

Didn't I read the Libs lost 7% of their vote to the SABest? So the electoral boundaries did it.

2PP sometimes is weird

 

[Pushka]

Antony Greens assessment was that the results were not significantly different from last election but the electoral boundaries were now more representative. Without the X factor then the Lib voting would have been significantly higher.

Do politicians ever say they were wrong and out of touch?.

Are voters gullible?

Nick X did on the video. The question I put to them, in the Sky News Peoples Forum last week was "what have you learnt from the mistakes you have made over the last 4 years".

Ah but thats different to saying "sorry we are wrong and out of touch. We got it wrong here for these reason and there for those reasons". .

Which was why Nick was the only one who answered the question. He said he is wrong almost every day and continually learning. And said he was wrong supporting the Salary rates in Fed Parliament last year.

Some do.

I think so. We forget quickly and easily swallow hollow election promises.

GST was a classic example.
