The entirely predictable landslide to Labor has occurred because the Liberals became a soft-Left political party. They not only moved to the centre, they crossed the centre line.

Accordingly, the Australian voters were given no distinctive choice – whoever you voted for you got a soft-Left government. Liberal and Labor policies were the same. So Australia voted against the tired, lacklustre party and for the newly invigorated one.

The landslide result is good for Australia for two reasons. First, it gives Rudd a mandate (and an obligation) to introduce or continue the Liberal party policies he stole. Second, it partly disposes of my greatest concern – the power of the Left in a Labor government. Rudd’s victory is so complete that it will be very difficult for Labor to replace him with Gillard in the foreseeable future or at all.

And what of the Liberals? They are finished as a political party. They have lost everything throughout Australia. The time has now come for a conservative rejuvenation. Conservatives all over Australia must join together to build a new Conservative Alliance.

Despite the fact that we have wall-to-wall Socialist governments, I believe that Australians are essentially conservative people. We need a new party that actually offers them distinctive policies – and policies which are unashamedly to the Right of centre.

We need a party that offers strong policies which are, by definition, politically incorrect. We need policies that are strong on law and order, immigration, support of the family unit, support of marriage, proper education, the defeat of multiculturalism, support for country people and, above all, close ties with the US.

We need to develop a patriotic pride in our country. We need to love our country, not hate it. In short, we need to become Australia Patriots.
