How is this going so far? I have no idea of how Aus elections work. Don’t like the blue number being high her than red on ABC.

Looks like it could be a good night for the greens.

They could get a couple of extra seats if we are lucky.

Could be a minority Labor government with Greens and Teal independents holding the balance of power.

I'm calling it, LNP majority is dead. Labor will have first chance at forming a Minority Government.

Labor need 4 from 18 in doubt seats to form majority government.
Do you want that or is minority preferable? Don't know much about your Labour party, let alone your Greens etc.

A minority government is almost always better IMO (knowing little about Aussie politics). If you need consensus from one or two other parties to get things done but have multiple options from where to get those votes then that should allow for good debate to thrive. Didn't work in Britain with Theresa mind but our political system is fecked and full of loons.

Labor will either have a majority or a large minority government with Greens and/or Teal independents.

Not too clued up on Australian political landscape.
Conservatives are losing right?
