The polls are open this Saturday 21 May 2022. The ruling coalition (Liberal National Party), led by Prime Minister Scott Morrison (nicknamed ScoMo), are seeking a 4th term. Labor, the main opposition, led by Anthony Albanese (nicknamed Albo), are hoping to finally get into government after 9 years in the political wilderness. ScoMo can't afford to lose any seats. if he does, it will be a hung parliament, which hasn't occurred until 2010.
I call this election "almost the lowest common denominator" because the contest is between an incompetent, unintelligent, hollow, lying and arrogant but shrewd marketing man ScoMo and a not so switched on, somewhat media shy, shallow and uncharismatic Albo. I want to see ScoMo gone and I hope Albo doesn't stick his head out too much when governing. Both are gaffe prone and otherwise uninspiring leaders. To any American viewers here, this election may be somewhat comparable to that of Donald Trump vs Joe Biden.
The election is mainly about economic issues followed by health, education and climate change (in no particular order). COVID-19 is not a factor at all. However, the LNP's strong point of the economy isn't working entirely in their favour because debt has tripled under their government.
Is anyone here following the Australian election?
