Approximately 400,000 more Australians voted for the coalition than for the labor party. Correct
The coalition is a group of 4 separate political parties. The labor party is 1 single party.
The liberal party, of which Tony Abbott is the leader received far less votes than the labor party.
It's only after you add on the votes of the other 3 parties that make up the coalition that you get 400,000 more.
Therefore, you can see how DDzx statement "Many, possibly most Aussies cannot connect with his personality". is correct. Furthermore, 92% of the swing against labor did not go to the coalition, it went to the greens
So, Apataki, you are flat out wrong or deliberately misleading as people of "your ilk" often are.
