screw that, stop voting like labor is going to win the next election. johnny howard is a smart politician, i dont necessarily agree with his policies (esp the war on iraq), but he knows how to keep himself in power, and more importantly, maintain that position for the past 12 years. beazley and labor wont have a chance this time around, their best bet would be when australia goes into recession or a downswing in the next time, and then they can blame the liberals for it. but yea, tell me if you disagree.
