1.Humility - Tony Abott ran as a principled, morally sincere and compassionate servant of the people, not as a utopian superior who transcends the people and the nation, including its institutions, traditions, and morality.
2.Responsibility The Liberal Party coalition has emphasized a systematic, responsible and accountable approach to governing and getting the countrys fiscal house in order, without making extravagant promises.
3.Common Sense Abbotts straight-talking and confident demeanor has connected with the majority of Australians; rather than worrying about the media and political elites, he has taken his message to the Australian people without wading into populist rhetoric.
4.Character Above all, Abbott has withstood the desperate and vicious attacks on his character by standing up for his convictions, which he sincerely believes in and demonstrates. Consistency in his message and his political track record has proven to be vital.
Sounds like Australia has a real winner.
Maybe the GOP could learn something? bah, who am I kidding?
