It's election day in Western Australia, with Roger Cook aiming to win a third term for Labor, while the Liberals and Nationals are hoping to eat into their immense grip on power. Follow live.
For anybody who wants to follow along over the next couple days.
Lessons learned from the night by two prominent Liberals, (i’m paraphrasing)
Steve Thomas: You can’t out-left the Labor party, we weren’t conservative enough.
Ken Wyatt: You need to go for a broad swathe of the electorate. You have to go to your electorate and listen to them. Elections are won from the middle.
Two different views, as ever nowadays the Liberals seem like a split party. I think the coneservatives need their more moderate peers more than they’d like to acknowledge. But i suppose we’ll see with the Federal election as well.
As usual i reckon Kens on the money with this one.
A little compare the pair for everyone.
