Ever been surprised by how you've voted? Why?

I was always told growing up that I'd vote for Labour and it wouldn't matter because England would vote in the Tories. I'm now 20, I've voted in a referendum in which I went against the Labour party's wish, voted in two elections in which I voted SNP and in May I will vote SNP again for the council elections. With Scottish Labour being a Blairite disgrace of a party and being anti-independence I've not once voted for the party that I always assumed I would.

I was a staunch labor voter in Oz. now I vote liberal because at least they pretend to know about the economy..
Labor just want to borrow and spend.

What do the liberals want to do?

Kiss the UNs ass a lot. But liberals have a pretty solid immigration policy. Labor is open borders.. And liberals are fans of coal. Since there is an abundant supply here and is our bread n butter. Labour want wind farms solar energy and sky high power bills. Just so they can slap them selves on the back for the world stage about how good they are to the environment..

@thatscottishguy: fyi, the liberals are the Aussie equivalent of our Tories and Australia's immigration policies are famously Draconian.

@theoneyouwerewarnedabout: You are the world's most underpopulated country and you have loads of natural resources. And you took the land from aboriginal people.
