I predicted the ALP would win this election and it looks like it might be the case. Latika Bourke has tweeted that a "Liberal source has said the LNP will lose government."

LNP pollie on ABC now - "this is democracy in action".... yet then goes on to say "we won't deal with a hung parliament". Yet a hung parliament and dealing with it is part of ******* democracy, you tool! This endless demonizing of minority government by the LNP is pathetic. It is a populist slap in the face to our democratic process.

Anthony cautiously saying an 11% swing. Huge if that holds out.

Yep. I loved him throwing in that they should look at Clayfield. That's Nicholls' seat held by 20.6%. It's very unlikely to fall but it's way closer than expected.

Agreed, they are. It is so offensive too - a hung parliament is simply the result of the peoples voice. It is the duty of both Parties to then negotiate. Its part of the democratic process.
Actually, Wayne, I'd say it suggests that voters are sick of the major parties and have nowhere to go because there is no upper house in Queensland.

Wayne Swan was right when he said his minority Gillard government got s**t done, but the Abbott government can't even pass wind.
A hung Parliament won't necessarily mean things don't get done - it just means you have to work harder. And there's nothing wrong with that.

Nichols. Still utterly out of touch with reality.
My vote's with Jessica Van Vonderen.

Looks like lab has got all of the swing against the liberals and half of the swing against katter.
