Sojourner wrote:Labor's major mistake at the last election was permitting Mark Latham to get up and say that he was happy to get rid of the jobs of forestry workers in Tasmania in exchange for preferences from the Greens, so three days out from the election you had pictures on the news of CFMEU forestry workers cheering John Howard as he promised to retain their jobs, that cost Labor two seats in Tassie which they will likely get back this time.
....
Where Labor struggle and need to pick up support is those people who 20 years ago would have voted Labor and now vote for the Greens, that is hurting Labor big time. Yet it is a tricky balance because the right side of the party doesnt want them involved anyway!
One Nation is not popular and Family First are treading water yet outside of the Liberal party, these are the only two real options for people that want to vote right wing.
Yet on the Left, you have the Greens, the Democrats and the Socialist Alliance, all of whom target Labor voters and whiteant Labor as a result. If just those that vote Greens voted Labor, that could well win Labor the election. Yet that is unlikely to happen any time soon.

Don't worry Phil by the time Im 35, I might actually give two hoots about this crap. But not just at the minute
the generation of 20 somethings don't give a sh*t about this garbage.
IMHO which ever way you vote you are screwed* vote libs job security is threatened, labor economic policy goes out the window family first are a bunch of religious freaks. the greens are a lot of NIMBY's and the independents just dont have the numbers to make a difference

The poll that counts is the TAB poll and they have Liberal a long way ahead, unlike the other polls if they get it wrong it costs them serious dollars, so the way that the questions are asked are asked somewhat differently, unlike the poll questions that are often used to make cheap headlines.

That's where Bennelong is, Wedgie! The tide was changing! Same thing happened in other seats up that way!
Bennelong demographic has changed and it is no longer blue ribbon Liberal, Wentworth, North Sydney and Abootts seat are but the last two elections Bennelong has gone to preferences....
Even though it is North of the river, in the same way the traditional Labor seats South of the river in Sydney Gwyder and Blaxland went to preferences last election. If you going to use the same logic about Bennelong Phil and the other inner west seats of Sydney North of the river you have to say the inner west seats South of the river are in danger of crossing over too.
As I said last time we had this debate, this election will be decided like the last two by the outer mortgage belt seats in the captial cities.

I think you'll find that Gwydir, if that's the seat you're thinking about, is a very safe National seat and as far away from Sydney as you can get in NSW.
Apart from that, you're right. However, I doubt if the Sydney seats are going to be where the election will be won or lost.
