When she made the decision to take the country to the ballot box 13 months before the end of her five-year term, her party held a 13% lead over Labor in the polls. By the time the campaign got under way last week, the margin had shrunk, with polls showing the Conservatives at around 42% to Labor's 33%. The Alliance hovered...
