Australian politics are probably the most similar to American of any country; ALP and Liberal-National would be strong in roughly the same places as their American counterparts. Of course, compulsory voting and IRV might mess things up.

One addendum - Labor would do even worse in coal country than the Dems, given their obsession with carbon taxes.

Well I was under the impression that it was "American parties being replaced by Australian ones" not "American parties being replaced by Australian ones and Americans being replaced by Australians as well."
