Neither party have the 76 seats needed to Govern.

Nobody has any idea where the independants will go.

Could be going back to the polls within a few weeks....

Are the Aussies used to a hung parliament or is it as rare as in the UK?
In Denmark it's always a hung parliament, which if you ask me is a good excuse for parties not to deliver on their election promises.

Grr......

Labor has fewer Primary votes than The Coalition.

Labor has fewer Two Party Preferred votes than the Coalition.

Labor has fewer seats than The Coalition.

Yet a couple of conservative independants have allied with Labor against the conservative parties to put Labor in power.

I just hope we have some stability.
