Greens On Track For Balance Of Power
Jul 30^th, 2013 at 5:31pm

Kevin Rudd may have inadvertently helped the Greens. Their Senate balance of power was endangered by the prospect of a landslide Coalition victory. But a revitalised Labor will now almost certainly poll much more strongly in the Senate. This will ensure the continuation of a Labor-Green Senate majority regardless of how well the Greens themselves poll

Prolly a fair assumption to make, hence why Abbott has said he will call DD within 6 months if his mandates dont get through, he is aware he wont have a majority.

I will say though the greens can kiss Melbourne goodbye. I fail to see the Libs giving preferences to the greens again for that seat and would rather see it back in the hands of the ALP.

And why not, if you will permit me; why shouldn’t I, if you will permit me; spend my first week as prime minister, should that happen, on this, on your, country - Abbott with the Garma People Aug 13

Nor win government on current polls. But the conga line are narky, they can see the precious slipping away by the day. Funny really, no body expected Rudd to go anywhere near as good as he has, save some of the silver at best, the conga line screeched. Well the fat little prick may just pull off a win, even if he doesn't the coalition majority would be so small no way would Abbott be dumb enough to go to a DD, though we are talking about Abbott. Rudd could well join Menzies and be PM with a few gaps in between.

Close.

The public (or a large section of it) is too stupid to realise they're being had by the Con-alition.

If people are sick of a hung parliament then why vote for a lame duck Liberal since if they win then will face a hostile senate.

Liberals = uncertainty for the economy.

And I doubt it will be long before they're facing a hostile electorate either, once the idiots realise the disaster they've voted for.

As opposed to the amazing government that we've had for the last three years?

Shame the Libs aren't, if ever there was a party and philosophy that didn't deserve to exist, it's them.

Is that why we've been in government more than any other party since Federation?
