Talk:New South Wales ALP loses support first time under premier Iemma

Title
This title is extremely confusing to anyone who doesn't follow Australian politics. I'd fix it, but being terribly ignorant about Australian politics, I have no idea how to do so. Maybe just get rid of the abbreviations? "Australian Labor Party loses support in New South Wales for first time under Premier lemma." though that seems terribly long. Any better ideas?

 * Shouldn't lemma be capitalized too? Nyarlathotep 04:48, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Iemma is capitalised. It is I not L. I have changed the title, hopefullt it is clearer - Cartman02au 06:08, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't know if someone changed it back, but the only reason I clicked on the headline is because I had no idea what it was about... "ALP loses support in NSW for the first time under lemma." And after reading the article, and until I read this discussion page, I had no idea New South Wales was Australia.  People keep saying they're fixing stuff, but either it's not enough, or it's been reverted--since the title says ALP and NSW, and nowhere in the article does it say Australia.  This really needs to be fixed. 71.209.188.119 22:09, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Oh, Cartman02au you seem to have created a redirect maze. :) Should be fixed now.  Nyarlathotep 13:17, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, MateoP, when you find this page, you will notice that ALP, NSW, and Iemma all uniquely identify Australia. Of course, it is the NSW which makes it so clear that I don't personally feel the need to add Australia anyplace.  :)  Nyarlathotep 13:23, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Title Fix
Someone wrongfully put Australia's ALP loses support for first time under PM Iemma. The ALP might be Australian but the article relates to NSW. The ALP is the governing party of the state of NSW. I dont know a hell of alot about other nation's politics so I cant really contrast it for you.

Mr Iemma is premier of NSW. The premier is the leader of the party (or coalition of parties) which has a majority in the lower house of parliament. It is similar to the PM, who is appointed similarly but at federal level not state.

I can understand the error, Australian politics is very complicated - Cartman02au 08:37, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
