It's called Democracy. If you don't like it, go somewhere with a different form of government.
I agree. If we do get a Lab/Green/Ind. coalition - it will be a good mix. We'll have a little of everything.
Who knows though. The twists and turns of this election has created uncertainty for everyone.
No matter who wins - the country will be divided. I agree with most of your post, Mantra, but I'm a little more optimistic than that last bit - I reckon we'll be more divided if the Independents go with the Conservatives...
That said, divisiveness epitomises the Libs anyway: it's what they do - ad nauseum ad infinitum...
So, I remain hopeful that the Independents will go with their originally-stated goal of: facilitating the formation of a stable full-term Minority Govt!
Clearly, the majority of right whingers - pollies and followers alike - don't want a Minority Govt and they are arrogant enough to believe that they'll romp it in if we go back to the polls...
On the plus side, the post-election opinion polls show overwhelming support for a Lab Govt - so, at a new election, the divisive Libs might succeed in getting their arses deservedly-kicked into political oblivion...
Meantime, how do the Libs solve a problem like Tony Abbott!?
