Landslide election victory for Victorian Labor today, historically ending a one-term government.

VLP won on its health, education & public transport policies, I'd say.
One crazy Coalition policy is to to remove the Frankston train line that I use to cut it off from the city loop under the CBD of Melbourne. Totally crazy.
Tony Abbot didn't even set foot in Victoria during the campaign, no doubt because he knew what a negative factor he is.
The independent that was expelled from the Liberal party for abusing his expenses got the boot too. Key marginal seats in south-eastern suburbs swung to the VLP.

Labor leader Daniel Andrews has promised not to let Victorians down after his party's win in the state election.
"The people of Victoria have today given to us the greatest of gifts, entrusted to us the greatest of responsibilities and bestowed upon us the greatest of honours and, ladies and gentlemen, we will not let them down," he told Labor faithful as he claimed victory.
Moments earlier, outgoing premier Denis Napthine said he would call a party room meeting "in the very near future" to stand down as Liberal leader: "it is time for renewal, it is time for change".
