Suldaanka Posted November 24, 2007 Maxine McKew is leading the Prime Minister's seat of Bennelong. * Maxine McKew 52.6%; John Howard 47.3% * 8% swing to ALP in Deakin * 6.68% swing to ALP in Eden-Monaro * Swings to Labor in Braddon and Bass Early counting shows Labor leading the Coalition in several key marginal seats less than an hour after the first polls have closed in today's federal election.

chubacka Posted November 24, 2007 When do you find out the results? I am hoping and praying that racist Howard is finally shown the door. :mad: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suldaanka Posted November 24, 2007 Howard has been banking on the terrorism card for too long. In fact, this is the first election since 9/11 that Howard didn't run a scare campaign because it is becoming old and out dated now. So far the results look promising for the ALP.

Baluug Posted November 24, 2007 LOL@Ruddslide. The question I have now is this: Do any of you think that this guy will be any better for Muslims in Australia than the last guy? He's still a politician, and he's still a kafir. He still follows what the majority of Australians want, and from the stories I've heard, a lot of Australians are not fond of Muslims. Instead of supporting and voting for kafirs who don't care about us, why not support a Muslim candidate, and if there is none, why not run for office yourself? Allah knows there are enough politicians in SOL..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Howard has been the Prime Minister of Australia since I was 10! Argh! I've got some Labor* party hacks to celebrate with. * This is the only situation where the American spelling of Labour is used.
