John Howard lost his seat because his policies were not supported by enough people. Howard had to be a tough leader, and his economic and trade policies built Australia up into a country stable enough to weather the worldwide economic crisis - for which the current PM, Kevin Rudd, had been able to take the credit. In order to do so, "belt-tightening" was necessary, and people with a short-term vision could not see the advantages to Howard's policies.
