Victorian State Election

[Brucetiki]

and the results so far are showing a significant swing to the Libs

Labor 22 (-4)
Coalition 37 (+5)
Others 0 (-1)

In doubt 29

[CK]

Exit polls apparently favouring a Liberal victory, with many indicators pointing to the necessary swing being effected.

Celebrity spotting - I saw Antony Green (ABC Election Analyst) at my local booth!!!!

Nice one LL - did you get his autograph?

Coalition, if you please.

[Strawb]

Result will more than likely be known tonight looking more and more like a coalition win

[Brucetiki]

The gap is closing, but with only 12 seats in doubt the Coalition are in the box seat

Labor 36 (-7)
Coalition 40 (+8)
Other 0 (-1)

In doubt 12

"Antony Green is calling the election for the Coalition, with the ABC's election computer predicting it will have an eight-seat majority".

Meanwhile the Herald Sun website has Labor up 43 to 41!

I have been reading most of the posting and they are all libs on there LOL

[Brucetiki]

Sky News now has Labor in front

Labor 43 (-9)
Coalition 42 (+10)
Other 0 (-1)

[Brucetiki]

Now it's

Target: 45
Labor 43 (-11)
Liberal 44 (+12)
Other 0 (-1)

1 seat in doubt, could be interesting if it ends up 44-44. I presume that would mean another Victorian election.

My wife wanted to follow him down the street. I said she was getting stalkerish.

ABC has
ALP 37
L/NP 45
In Doubt 6

But with the huge amount of postal votes yet to be counted 45 for the L/NP is probably optimistic at this stage. Hung parliament is looking on the cards.

My wife and I were just discussing this. With no independents to bribe it would be a dead heat. My wife was saying the Government would then try to govern through the upper house. If that doesn't work then it's back to the polls.

If we do go back LL do you think the Coalition will win in a landslide? Or labor might hold on?

You get the feeling that some of the protest vote against Labor would swing back to them as people would be scared of another dead heat and that would get Labor back in....just.

I got that feeling too but something tells me that the libs might just get up if we have a re-election.

They were saying 500,000 absentee/pre poll votes have to be counted. That's a shirtload of votes to come.
