The GREENS need to stay as an independent party, they need to keep their own voice unlike the Nationals and the other parties that make up the coalition, or else they'll just end up like the Nationals being sucked up by the Libs.

How useless are the coalition ? 4 parties against 1 and they still cant pull off government.
Libs, Nationals, Lib nats and the Country Libs, useless.
Not to mention the WA Nats, who refuse to join the coalition and want to be treated as independents, what a mess of an organisation that lot are.

With the rise of the greens and the independants, what chance has either major party git of acheiving the 76 seats to rule???

I can't see a majority ever again, our voting system is now totally flawed.

there is nothing in the constitution for either labor or libs to form government as it stands now, regardles of who got how many votes etc.

It purely boils down to seat numbers nothing more nothing less.

The minor parties need to be eliminated like the democrats were, or prior to the election they should out line their alegance to the major party they'd back??

How many of bob Katters voters would want an ETS???

You're a joke! Cheesy

Funny how the Libs and Nats carry on about ALP factionalism.

And what is a Coalition but factions that can’t even be in the same party?

Huh

All you have demonstrated is you lack of understanding. But you have an exuse. You are stupid. Skippy on the otherhand claims to be a Polticial SCience student despite being woefully uninformed about the political process and history.

Even though I'm still in my first year of an Arts degree with a major in politics,I learnt more in my first week than you have in a life time you uneducated wanker.
When are you going to learn how to spell?

Another three years of Labor gross incompetence, instability and waste will ensure the Liberals 76 seats the next time round.
With Latham in 2004, Rudd in 2007 & Foolya in 2010, who will be the Labor leader at the next election?
