In a world of fake news and populist politics, elections can seem like theatre. With growing rates of informal votes and a perceived narrowing of differences between the major parties, do Australian elections really matter? Taking ten examples, this book argues that elections do matter (even when you think they don't). It is not just elections with memorable jingles or triumphant campaigns from opposition to government that can shape the nation. Could it be that the Labor loss in 1969 formed the country more than the famous win in 1972? Or did the return of the Coalition in 1954 have more impact than securing government in 1949? Elections Matter looks at prime ministers and policies that never were and examines how the democratic process could have produced a different country. Had key elections taken a different turn, Australia might have had a different constitution, a different head of state, a different health and education system and a different foreign policy approach. This book looks at ten elections that formed Australia

The preliminary results indicate Felipe Calderon of the National Action Party has won Mexico's presidential election by an extremely narrow margin. However, Andrés Manuel López Obrador of the Party of Democratic Revolution (PRD) said there had been inconsistencies in the voting returns. Mexico is on edge after the tightest of presidential outcomes. At 11:00 pm on Sunday July 2, Luis Carlos Ugalde –president of the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE)– reported the race too close to call and asked the candidates not to claim victory. Minutes later, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) of the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) proclaimed himself the winner by 500,000 votes. Shortly thereafter, Felipe Calderón of the National Action Party (PAN) also claimed the mantle of victory, citing quick counts and preliminary results (PREP) which gave him a scarce one-point advantage over AMLO. Soon thereafter, the PAN's margin fell to 0.6 when IFE included in the PREP some 2.6 million ballots with "inconsistencies," which López Obrador had denounced as "disappeared." On July 5, all 300 district councils –the regional electoral districts– started reviewing the tally sheets attached to130,488 boxes (paquetes electorales) containing the ballots of nearly 42 million Mexicans.

The topic of the article indicated in the title is considered outside the historical and cultural ties of two neighboring states, which both make them related and at the same time contrast them. Purely external parallels are easy to draw: low turnout and special significance of votes from the diaspora in both cases, high relevance of the topic of government corruption of power in election campaigns, relative failure of the socialists in both elections. Moreover, there is a noticeable mutual training of the elites and the use of each other's experience. But а concrete analysis shows that the outcome of the elections was decisively influenced by the balance of power in each of these countries. Their outcome is also not identical. In Romania, power will almost certainly be formed without the Social Democratic Party, although it retained the largest faction in parliament. In Moldova, the political cycle is not over yet. Only after the expected early parliamentary elections will it become clear: who, with whom, and on what terms will share the power.

Reflects on the forecasts of the 2004 presidential election that were initially published in the Oct 2004 issue of PS & suggests several factors that may have contributed to the fluctuations in approval ratings for the candidates leading up to Election Day. 1 Table, 8 References.

These elections did not overturn an established order, but conserved the position of an established elite. A political oligarchy appears to have entrenched itself further. (SJO)
