Predictions in this thread appear to have been somewhat incorrect; The nominally left-wing Labor government in Australia has just been re-elected in an absolute landslide.

The right wing leader lost his seat.

Personally I would have preferred a minority government, I think these guys have absolutely not earned this through positive change and I really hope they get a move on actually solving the problems this term. Will be a pleasant surprise if they do.

There is absolutely no question that some part of the left wing victory here was a "trump effect", hard to say how much though.
