Election Campaign#3

August 23, 2004 12:57 PM

It would appear from the recent polls that the trend of John Howard's clawback of the ALP's two party prefered vote lead has run out of puff. What is worse is that the catchup trend may even be falling away with the gap between the two major parties widening.

What now for Howard? More money to be spent on shoring up the Coalition's electoral base, such as increasing the subsidies to private health insurance? The recent health moves have effectively boxed the Latham-led ALP into a corner. The party of publicly-funded universal health care now confirms that it would not change the private health rebate if it won government.

Have you noticed how the ALP keeps on moving to the right whilst its rhetoric remains the same?
