Various sources are reporting that Australia’s incumbent government, led by the Liberal Party who are in fact Oz’s conservatives, has won reelection. Media down under predicted they would lose, media was wrong once again.
The phenomenon of what the Brits call “shy conservatives” has surfaced in yet another country, voters telling pollsters one thing and voting the opposite way. We saw this peculiarity in our 2016 presidential election where Trump was predicted to lose, but in fact won. It also showed up in the U.K. with regard to Brexit where polls were once again wrong.
