Labor win predicted as SA poll looms

Labor win predicted as SA poll looms.

: "Political experts are pointing to the return of the Labor Government on the eve of the South Australian election, but the Liberals are still confident of pulling off an upset."

The poll isn't looming at all. No one is particularly talking about it and you would think you could muster some enthusiasm after a few years break to get more interested. The politicians have read us well and not bothered us much with too much of a campaign. I think it would have really got our backs up. Not because we don't value our local politicians. I think we do. I think in SA, as I have said before , we have seen our politicians get out there and do their job, no matter which party they represent. We have seen our local politicians actually haul together as a good team which has stabilised and promoted the wellbeing and stability of our state. You have to have people looking for what is not going right. You have to have people out there voicing local opinions and concerns. You have to have people out there keeping things in the public view and on top of that we have had logical and sensible debate in the public forum. So basically we know it's okay and that we can be subject to federal decisions and world decisions which destabilise us and pull us away from our way of doing things. People seem to be pretty happy with how things are and so an election seems to be unnecessary in many ways. I personally am grateful to all our politicians for leaving us to work things out ourselves and not subjecting us to the media beat ups or the endless drivel people seem to think is necessary for a campaign. The money saved is better on transport, hospitals and education and our politicians know that in SA because they do actually talk to us and listen.
