The Liberal Party is Australia’s major conservative party - so, yes, we do want Liberals to win. Them and Nationals who are also conservative and operate together in coalition.
Kevin Rudd has appeared at the Gabba to address his party. Presumably this will be his concession speech.
Rudd about to concede after he does his winners procession - Why would you try to look like a winner when you just had your butt handed to you.
I strongly suggest that we Americans stop calling the Dems ‘liberals.’ Based on historical precedent, the Dems are the inverse of ‘liberal.’ They are state socialists and/or collectivists, and are opposed to the liberal values on which the US was founded. They stole that term from its rightful owners more than a century ago, because the term that honestly describes what they were and are had and has strong negative connotations.
The terms ‘liberal’ and ‘progressive’ get very positive responses from focus groups of low-information voters. So when we use those terms, we’re helping the socialists/collectivists.
So call them what they are: socialists, collectivists or at least leftists.
