I, too, would prefer the ALP to win. The first time I moved to Australia for a couple of years my friends all said: "Why? WHY???"
I replied: "You don't understand. After years of Thatcher/Major shenanigans, I want me some Hawke/Keating goodness. Those Australians are serious about education, about reconciliation, all sorts of good socially progressive policies. They'll have gay marriage soon, just wait!"
Obviously I am hugely embarrassed to mention that these days ... Now I would just like Australia to stop its 12-year love affair with the 1950s.
