Labor has stormed to victory in the federal election and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will lead a majority government following a disastrous night for the Coalition and Peter Dutton.
At 8.24pm, less than half an hour after the final polls closed in Western Australia, 9News projected Labor had won the election.
Except perhaps in the UK, where there’s a Labour government who are triangulating rightwards Blair-fashion, but who (if recent local elections are anything to go by) look likely to be replaced with a far-right populist party that’s actually a private company controlled by donors.
I love how the UK’s supposedly left leadership aggressively, insistently opened with “let’s cut off the heating for old people in winter” and kept doubling down on it.
