A Red Guy Living In A Dark Blue Area…
Fcuk man. While rummaging through my scattershot stuff, I came across a my electorate brochure.
Wanting to be a good Ozzie citizen, I decided that those brochures weren’t meant to be used as origami material 
So being a good Confucious-educated boy that I am, I proceeded to learn how I can serve my new country.
And almost choked on my Indomie (copyrighted) Mee Goreng in the process.
What the hell! I was living in one of the blue-est of blues Liberal NSW seats around! Soo… painful…. to….. realise….. What happened to Labor here???
Apparently, I live in the Federal Division of Berowra. My Federal MP is that bloody Mr Phillip Ruddock, who’s practically an ancient walking fossil…
The old foggie’s mugshot
Oh yeah, and he’s also the current Australia’s Attorney General (Law Minsiter). Plus that oldie’s been in this seat since 1993 now…
This electorate’s voting stats under the 2-party preferred system is:
Liberal: 62.12%
Labor: 37.84%
Damn…
To rub salt into my wounds, I’ve also just found out that even my State District MP’s a Liberal! He’s a Mr Michael Richardson, member for The Hills (that’s my state district).
The smug dude
The state results:
Liberal: 61.6%
Labor: 38.4%
Freaking almost identical to the federal elections! Labor trounced both times!
Anyway, I shouldn’t be that suprised by the results. The Berowra area is quite an affluent area after all. However, I thought that the increase in the number of migrants of Asian descent here might have given Labor more votes than this, since migrants seem to prefer Labor to Liberal. But I guess this is a good sign after all, as there doesn’t appear to be any ethnicity-based voting going on here. I guess every rich person, irregardless of skin colour, will vote for the party which advocates tax cuts 
Apalah this Labor here….
