> Separate from this policy debate I think you’ll find Australia is a country where the right frequently wins actual majorities of the vote.

Isn't that basically every democratic country?

We can't judge how "right" or "left" the political culture of a country is by how frequently the right or left win office, because in the long-run they tend to win office roughly equally often just about everywhere.

A better way of judging this question, is how the policies of their main left/right parties compare to those of their counterparts in comparable countries
