They’re not our fights, but Australians have views on two matters our Anglophone cousins are wrestling with currently. According to today’s Essential Report, 38% of Australian voters think Britons should vote for the UK to remain in the European Union when they go to the polls on Thursday, while 22% support Brexit; 40% profess no opinion. Labor and Coalition voters feel almost exactly the same way (41%/42% remain), while Greens voters are just a little more enthusiastic (46% want the UK to stay). Looking across the Atlantic, Donald Trump is polling about as favourably among Australians as he is in the US: Australians back Hillary Clinton 71% to 15%. The best Trump can do is 19% among Liberal voters and 20% among “other” voters”.
Australians (would) vote for Clinton
Australians don't get to vote in the UK or the US, but that doesn't stop them from having opinions on their governments.
