Kylie explains why I would vote ALP tomorrow
If I were still registered in SA, that is.
(This should have been the ALP campaign song!)

Funny that - when our local council was small, the services were better and the costs were lower, but still people keep telling me bigger councils are better and cheaper.Aidan wrote:That would encourage smaller local councils, which would probably drive up costs.rhino wrote:I think our local council and our electorate should be the same thing. Our elected member should, by default, be the local mayor or someone of equal status - maybe each electorate/council would have a mayor and a MHA. We'd get rid of a layer of government, and local members would be forced to have a much higher profile in their community, making the average punter keener to vote.capitalist wrote:I think ilike the Tassie votting system with the 5 people per region system, I reckon that would work here and it would allow parties to be different because they would always have sitting members.

The problem with that strategy is that they tend to get progressively more devilish after each time they're reelected, and eventually they'll be so bad that there's a huge swing to the other lot.AtD wrote:Kylie explains why I would vote ALP tomorrow

'Tis far better to aim for a hung parliament - c'mon, you know it's what those bastards deserve!

Were the services really better? If so, how?rhino wrote:Funny that - when our local council was small, the services were better and the costs were lower, but still people keep telling me bigger councils are better and cheaper.
Bigger councils tend to be able to do things more cheaply than smaller ones. But when the state government gives all councils less subsidy, ratepayers are unlikely to notice the savings.

It's interesting that the bookies think that Labor will win while the polls put the Libs at a close win. I can't help but think of 2004, when most of the polls said it'll be a tight one, and the bookies said it would be an easy win for the libs.Howie wrote:Wow that's tightened quite a bit.AtD wrote:Election eve odds: $2.70 for a Lib premier, $1.45 for the ALP.

Uusally the bookies are the best poll of them all. The polls that have been conducted for this state eelction have been quite small, whereby the margin for statistical error is highest. On the other hand, with the bookies, since people are dealing with their own money, they tend to reflect people's genuine voting intention.peas_and_corn wrote:It's interesting that the bookies think that Labor will win while the polls put the Libs at a close win.

The final Newspoll was 1,600, which is quite a large sample. 52-48 to the Liberals.Will wrote: The polls that have been conducted for this state eelction have been quite small, whereby the margin for statistical error is highest.
Let's just hope the swing is not uniform.

Yet, you need to remember that over 90% of the population are motivated by profit and gain (it's genetic), and well, everyone can work out the rest pretty easily.Will wrote:Usually the bookies are the best poll of them all.

Can anyone give the total results party by party and two party preferred for those who don't live in Adelaide. In Bris. there will be very little said re these stats. A pity - like many of you, I would be watching the whole procedure if in SA. May the one that will benefit our state, not themselves, the most, win.
