australia only... who will you vote for in the coming election ?

Question

who will you vote for in the coming election ?
Howard or
Rudd ?
just because rudd won the debate doesn't always mean he will win th election... it's been done b4.... they win the debate and lose in the election because of some very loyal howard fans.. !

Answer 1

yes lets us look at Howards record since he has been elected just the facts as he says:



1 Support for Pauline Hanson

2 Core and non core promises

3 Children overboard someone else fault

4 Destroying the education system

5 his head in the sand stand on reconciliation

6 support for higher household debt and inflation

7 denying global warming exist (sorry climate change)

8 Work (serf choices) Choices

9 tampa incident

10 lets not forget the AWB scandal which he his government knew nothing about what were they doing when they signed the gave executive approval for the sale ????

11 Health is a commonwealth responsibility under the constitution but howard has refused to engage unless there is an election.



on interest rates The Reserve Bank of Australia sets interest rates, not the government (under Paul keatings stewardship). The RBA is a totally independent body. No politican should be believed when they say they will “keep interest rates at record lows”. before the hawke keating government came to power in 1983. John howard as treasurer left the economy with a 22% interest rate and in recession. I remeber that



and Economic experts do not support what Mr Howard is saying.



And if it was not for the Labor states of WA and QLD the countries economy would be in recession the federal government does not control mineral leases the states do





the Fact is the people of Australia can not afford another Howard government

Answer 2

I will definitely vote for the ALP, not necessarily Rudd. I still think Beazley would've been great but Australians didn't want him because he was too fat! Shame that Australians vote on physical appearance....



Even the worst Labor PM is always better then the best Liberal PM! I don't mind Rudd though, he is an honest guy not like Mr Coward. Oops Howard!



I quote John Hewson a few nights ago on the ABC (speaking about the Coalition):



"Any more to the right and they will fall off their perch.....I mean some of these people think that the world is flat".



Thanks Mr Hewson, you said it all! You might have been the only Liberal PM I would've voted for if you weren't running against the greatest PM I can remember Mr Paul Keating.



Who do I expect to win? Well, unfortunately Howard of course! Why? Unfortunately the voting Australian public are stupid and know nothing about economics and how there is a lag in economic indicators. Also, one of the first things Howard did in his first term (after stripping away free dental care for those who can't afford it) was to change the definition of 'employed' so that one is employed if they work in paid employment for 1 hour a week. People should not compare apples with bananas!!



Go vote for Howard stupid people. I'm ok he actually benefits me due to my high income. However I am not selfish and do believe that the poor should be assisted by the government. The funny thing is those people that are poor and need a Labor government are those that will vote Liberal.



Go the election....I win either way!!

Answer 3

I'm voting for Rudd. The economy is strong because of anything Howard has done. Most of the money pouring into the Government's coffers is from the mining boom and Howard certainly didn't create this. Howard and Costello have had a great run on the back of the reforms Hawk and Keating put in place. OH and Howard is a LIAR.

Answer 4

WELL Mr Howard is the biggest loser !!!!!!!!!!!!

How can WE all better off ???

Wel some say everyone has short memories of the past ...OMG grow up people!

NOW Mr RUDD you can win hand over fist...

Howard says or education system is just simply brilliant,OMG come to the schools and look at the answer to that. Many of the state schools literacy and maths are falling very behind the standards they should be.

They have even continued to change how to do subtraction! WTF ..

MR Rudd has said it perfectly for our students and for the upcoming students to get a better education then they are getting now...They are illiterate and composing of brawls in the playground using mobile phones...lets utube it...thats what they do best..NOT excelling like they should be!

Tax breaks,our education system OH the KYOTO Agreement(for the one who said he didnt do anything for it) RUDD WILL!



Now the government has shunned the " WORKERS" of Australia,made intrest rates too damn high,many cant buy now because of the LIBS...

How will the people who make THIS country turn and grow be appreciated on Howard back...no we will not...we will be in the gutter and howard will say

"Australians heve never been better off"

*extends my middle finger above all other and says BYE HOWARD..

(why did the libs have the WORM cut the other night? Dont they like to see the truth of how the country really thinks of his POOR stratergies nad lack of agreements OR CARE! )

The Kids of today are our tommorows caretakers...what will we have ..illiterate ill mannered and all they can do is answer in TXT message forms....

*shakes head...libs killing Aust....

Answer 5

I'm voting Green- both Howard and Rudd are avoiding the world's greatest problem: Global Warming. All they worry about is finance, and money won't solve next generation's problems with the world we're leaving behind! But I hope anyone but Howard wins so our troops can come home safe and sound.

Answer 6

Hate to be pendantic, but unless you live in the electorate of Bennelong or Griffith, you won't be voting for either. After all, this isn't a presidential campaign!



Look at what the parties are offering - not just Labor and the Coalition, but all the minor parties as well - and vote for the one which most closely accords with your own values and what you feel is best for the country as a whole. Remember that, thanks to our preferential voting system, a vote for a minor party is NOT a "wasted" vote.



Avoid basing your vote purely on the perceived personalities of the two main leaders, as this is quite unimportant. Also, try to think beyond the relative benefits each candidate might have on your hip pocket. There is much more to our well-being - both as individuals and collectively - than material wealth.

Answer 7

Howard,



Rudd has no plans he is just a me too man, also his education funding means people have to pay $1500 now to get $750 back at the end of the finacial year after filling out more paper work, who has the $1500 to spend now?



I really dont think the rudd team have enough brains or experience, he likes to call himself an out of work diplomat that speaks chinese and earns over $180,000 a year, who cares, not me

Answer 8

John Howard - you can never please everybody but the country as a whole is in great shape right now. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Rudd's team has very little experience and what Labor is doing at the state level (in NSW) doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. I'm worried that too many people are blaming the Government for what the states are doing.

Answer 9

Unfortunately Australians have a very short memory of what happens when Labour actually get into power. The last time the labour government was in power, interest rates were up over 20%!! And australia was in debt. Just like the Labour state governments are doing.

For australias sake lets hope that Labour do not get into power, but you can never under estimate the power of very stupid people in large numbers - but hey, thats how unions work.

Ohh and to answer your question, I wish to buy a house in the near future so i will be voting liberal. As i could not afford the interest rate rise under a Labour government

Answer 10

I'm voting for Howard. I can remember when Labour ran this country - lest we forget! Every state has a labour gov - look at the mess the states are in, now apply that to us as a country - HELP! I'm sure Rudd can't wait to get his hands on our surplus, so that in typical labour style they can spend up big, appear to be heros and put our nation back into the debt it was 13 years plus ago. You think interest rates are bad now, vote for Rudd and hold on to your hats! Remember 18%?

Answer 11

Vote for Rudd. He has vision for Australia. But Howard he is vision less pm. I agree he has given the economic growth but this boom will not stay for ever and Howard doesn't have any vision what he or his party's will take action.

Answer 12

I will be voting for Rudd Labour Party only so I can Strike My employer is paying hie employees the wrong award and under paying



We have tried to negotiate with employer he has told us except his **** pay and conditions or dont have a job We even had the union involved he argues with the union and threatens them



So it leaves no other option

Answer 13

Howard,

I really believe what he says, Whether I like him or not he always either avoids a question (if he doesnt want to answer) or he says the truth. All the other would lie to your face with there fingers crossed behind there backs.

Answer 14

Howards team of course. I find Rudds mish mash pie in the sky may sound pretty to some but in reality it appears to me to be dangerous to Australia generally.

Answer 15

for once i would like howard to step down. it been three cycle he was in the office.



he has screwed, prodded ,poke and nearly stubb many a life with his policy. the taxes and the rising cost of fuel had hardly left us wit a penny to scratch our bums with.



give another bloke a try...it would only cost us 5 years...god knows howard's has done worst. so we already hit rock bottom. lost the rugby to the pomms ....can't get any worst right,

Answer 16

I will be voting for Mr Howard, i believe that federal labor will be the same as NSW labor, cant run an economy and we will all be in trouble.

Answer 17

None of the above Ill be voting for the Greens.

Answer 18

no longer a huge gamble in hell. In distant u . s . a . areas the hard artwork social gathering organizes p.c.. up & transport of voters to the polling cubicles. are you able to think of those varieties making their thank you to mthe cubicles voluntary??? No probability! subsequently hard artwork is often attempting to alter the balloting gadget in Australia - to healthful them. If balloting grew to become into voluntary hard artwork could in no way be in workplace. finished stop.
