*sigh* Elections are over, Liberals won with a good majority. Hell, they even managed to pull in another seven seats. Damn it, I was hoping for a minority government here just to see how they react. No-confidence votes annoy me.
Apparently, Family First is the hip new minority party this year. They've been stealing votes from the Greens. Similar policies, they were against the Iraq War, better treatment of refugees, environmental concerns, etc. Only thing is they're Christian, which pulled in the votes. Another damn it.
Encouraging news in the form of the greens though, even if they've lost their only House seat. They've secured nearly 1,000,000 votes, which in the context of 13,000,000 voters is hella good.
The Senate elections seem to be a little more interesting, there's news floating around that Family First may help the Coalition win the Senate as well. That would be not good. The Greens are expected to do well in the Senate, let's hope they do.
Having a grand time from the littlest things, off to watch Eat Carpet. Bai Bai!
