Currently the figures are running like this:<BR/><BR/>Labor Party, 4,411,093 votes = 43.1%<BR/>Liberals, 3,687,128 votes = 36.1%<BR/>The Greens, 777,993 votes = 7.6%<BR/>National, 552,990 votes = 5.4%<BR/><BR/>The first past the post system gives them a majority of seats but you can't claim much more than that.ZenTigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07888629207437612884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38893560.post-4540913518264030122007-11-25T22:30:00.000+13:002007-11-25T22:30:00.000+13:00Acknowledge that yours is the view point of a tiny...Acknowledge that yours is the view point of a tiny minority ?<BR/><BR/>..and if it was the view of the majority, it would be right?
