They will have to go left and that will be the end of them. After the next election we will have another 12 years of conservative government.

In some ways, it might be better if the Abbott Libs form a minority lame duck govt - and get another chance to show their true colours before calling a DD election...

Lamenting the shift in the Australian psyche, away from the egalitarian ideal of the fair-go - and the rise of short-sighted pollies, who worship the 'Growth Fairy' and seek to divide and conquer!

If Labor forms a minority government, they will be buggered by their coalition partnets, constantly pushing them to the left.

If the Libs form a minority government, they will win the next one outright.

After tonight's interim election results, I can neither agree nor disagree with you on that - I shall await some more results and Sunday political commentary before I form an opinion...

Soren's prediction looks the most likely, but the truth is that we may not know who will form a government for a week or more, with so many seats going down to very, very small margins.

One panelist on 9 made the comment that if we see a minority government formed we may see a more civilised atmosphere develop in our political system, and I must say that after seeing the plethora of extremist views expressed in this forum recently, that would be a good change to witness.

It is still possible Labor may hold on to win enough seats on it's own, but a Labor government supported by the Greens is more likely.

If that happens it will produce the best government we could have, because we will then see a real policy to address climate change developed, and we will also see Labor step back from their copying of Abbott's sick xenophobic policies against refugees, and a return to a caring government not ashamed to show compassion to those most in need.

Go Greens, you did awesomely well.

I hope the Libs just keep drifting further right until they make themselves as electiorally unpalatable as their coalition partners, the Nationals.

I spent this morning at a polling booth handing out how to vote LNP cards and the dissatisfaction with the GALP was palpable. It translated to the tally nationwide. Now, though this will take years to put right, we can start to make life better for ordinary Australians.
