| Austrailia's center-left Labour Party thrashed in NSW state elections. |
| 2011-03-27 |
 | Note that in Australian politics the Liberal Party is the center-right party (think classical liberal) and the Labour Party is the "progressives". |
Labour has lost seats they have never lost in elections before. This is the worst thrashing in history for a party going from a majority of seats (50 out of 93 seats) to only 19 seats with a voter swing of 17 points.
The Liberal/National Party coalition is looking at 71 seats out of 93 (the National Party is to the right of the Liberal Party).
The global progressive movement has just taken yet another severe beating.
