How stupid are the people of the South?
There were only 3 labor votes total in this election. Two went to the Labor candidate, one did write-ins. Considering based on the Census on August 12th there were 23 Laborites registered in the region, it's clear that there wasn't even a real effort placed in their own candidate.
While the turnout was embarrassing, I'm personally glad that the candidate who ran the stronger campaign, was the most qualified, and inspired the most people to get out and vote won.
