Seriously enough, how electable is the ALP in the coming election? One Canada is enough for all of us in the world.

how electable is the ALP in the coming election?

If current polling is anything to go by they look like they are in with a good very good chance. See article in today's SMH.

I don't think Australia under the ALP would be quite the same as Canada. When they have gotten into power in the past they have generally adopted a very pro US stance and are very committed to maintaining a strong defence capability. Whilst I shudder at the thought of them gaining power, they would certainly be more palatable than the likes of Helen Clark.
