Exit Polls Not Looking Good for John Howard
by John Little on 24/11/2007It looks like Howard is out:
The results of a major exit poll of voters in today’s federal election has predicted Kevin Rudd will be the next prime minister of Australia and that John Howard will lose his seat of Bennelong.
The Sky News exit poll taken in 31 key seats predicts a two-party preferred result of 53 per cent to Labor to 47 per cent to the Coalition.
Howard was a strong ally in the war on terror and he helped keep the global warming wackos at bay. His successor will hurt us on both fronts:
Rudd, a 50-year-old former diplomat who speaks fluent Chinese, says the 68-year-old Howard is ill-equipped to deal with new challenges like global warming and a high-speed Internet network.
He says his first priority if he is elected will be to sign the Kyoto Protocol on greenhouse gas emissions, something Howard has refused for years to do.
Rudd says he would withdraw Australia’s 550 combat troops from Iraq, leaving twice that number in mostly security roles. Howard says all the troops will stay as long as needed.
Well, at least France is sucking less these days.
