With all due respect,
I would prefer if this was called: why would anyone vote liberal
Out of curiosity, don't they only survive the wealthy minority? So why do they win the vote of the majority?
Because of policies, one's values and performance A lot of peers that I knew, were disappointed by:*Emissions trading scheme - Labor said climate change was the biggest threat,.. yet called off the ETS
*Insulation rebate debacle - 189 house fires. It was largely undregulated
*Schools stimulus program waste - Waste, mismanagement and inflexibility. Many complaints of redundant work and mismangement of funds.
*Mining tax - THat was a big failure as it didn't raise much revenue and went nowhere in years
*Nurses recruiting scheme -. Less than 1000 nurses were recruited.
*Border protection - Asylum seeker numbers expanded greatly, many deaths occurred and the government could not deal with it properly.
*Green loans scheme - A massive rort, which private companies abused
Many people I knew were unhappy about the amount of deaths and the seemingly successful people smuggling business. The ETS was a huge joke, it gave lots of people hope that there could be a huge direction but nothing came out of that.

As for the 2016 election, many people weren't happy with SHorten's performance. He said a lot but did nothing (which can be applied today)...
Before I get any flame about being anti labour, I am aware of the current lib's failures and do expect them to lose in the next election. **cough cough* National failed Broadband Network, Same sex marriageBut for now, it does seem in the eyes of the people that Liberals are the lessers of two evils.
