Howard Increases Majority in Australia

the Coalition Liberal-National Party Government of Australian PM John Howard has been returned with an increased majority.

Latest official results are available through the Australian Electoral Commission, and at 9:24:48 PM local time with 62.19% of the votes counted, the Government has a swing of +1.96%.

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation prediction shows a likely increase of 2 seats in the Government majority (previously 8 seats).

This will give the Howard Government an unprecedented 4th consecutive term of office.

UPDATE: The official results now show that the Coalition has definitely got the minimum 76 seats needed for a majority, with 63.81% of the votes counted.

UPDATE: The Opposition Leader, Mark Latham, has just conceded defeat.

I am so glad Howard won! The other candidate that Kerry's sister was supporting, vowed to leave Iraq, as our allie.

Hopefully, we see the same kind of landslide here in the states for President Bush.

YEEHAW!!

The Iraq war was not one of the pivotal issues here. It has been ignored by both major parties in the campaign, and was only a focus for some minor parties, mainly the anti-war platform of the Greens and Democrats.

This is tacit approval for the war at best, but undoubtably cheering for Republicans, as I agree that Howard will undoubtably follow Bush, if Bush gets in aswell.

Also note that by a quirk that both of our systems share, Howard may not have got in by a majority of votes, although I still have to check that I admit.

John Howard has now had a landslide against him proving that you can be in office too long.

YEEHAW!!

How about a Bob Dylan song:

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.



One more year to go...
