The Liberals: The current government, headed by John Howard. Recently re-elected to his 3rd 6-year term as Prime Minster. Similar to the American Republican Party.
Labour: The opposition, headed by Kim Beasly. Yes, they misspell it as they do in Britain. Similar to the American Democrats. Mr. Beasly is now out of a job for loosing the election.
There are two other parties of minor significance, the Green Party and the Democrats. The Green party is the same as in the US, and the Democrats are similar to the Ross Perot alternative for those who feel that the reigning two party system doesn't work. Both of these parties lost seats in the election.
