Labor wins by a landslide:

When Ashton Hurn took on the role of South Australian Liberal leader just a few months ago, she likened the challenge to climbing a "mountain".

Rather than climbing the mountain, the Liberal Party has now fallen off a cliff.

The party has not just lost, but has suffered one of the most staggering election disasters in Australian political history.

In a country that has had an entrenched two-party system for 80 years, the Liberals appear to have somehow slipped to third, at least on the primary vote.

"You do have to concede the people have spoken and there has been quite a loud message sent," Liberal Senator Anne Ruston said on the ABC's election night coverage.

If you had told even the most pessimistic Liberal when Ms Hurn took the leadership that their vote would fall this far, it's highly unlikely they would have believed you.

Across Adelaide, once very safe Liberal seats are now in Labor hands.

Perhaps most significantly, the Liberals appear to have finished significantly behind One Nation on the primary vote.

Labor always wins no matter how bad they are.

21% of S.Oz gave their primary vote to O.N. Not a good sign for the federal election in a couple of year.
Even throughout suburban Adelaide, O.N polled well.

In some safe Labor seats, Labor's swing against was 20% to O.N. Greens gains insulated Labor through preferences.

Liberals, decimated, is always great news.

O.N was kept at bay by Liberals & Labor not preferencing.

Next November, lets see if ON can replicate in Victoria's election.

The uni party?

It’s only a matter of time before labor and the LNP merge

Goodbye Angus, goodbye the nation party.

Greg you are missing how our “ democracy “works.

One Nation just took 21% of election funding away from both the labor and liberal parties.

That’s real hard cash that will not be preference away.

The seats one and lost is irrelevant.

The amount of taxpayer funds that you receive is what makes the game important.

My undoubted rough estimate is Pauline Hanson just collected $556,453.006

The real issue is that this money has been taken away from the uni party.

The cake doesn’t get bigger there slice just got 21% smaller.

And that hurts them. It hurts them hard.
