    A minority government would definitely send a message to the Liberal Party that they are incompetent fucks that need to provide a legitimate opposition and not just pander to the Literal Nazis and Religious Right.

    It will also send a message to the Labor Patty that people are not satisfied with them either.

    The 3 years of government dis-functionality may ge a large price to pay.

      @Salvo what the MSM seem very slow to realize is that effectively the fight for the LP as a main stream centre right party has been lost. And the LP is very keen to cosplay as a “Broard Church” incl moderates. I believe it is not true; they are controlled by factions motivated that we all convert to believe what they believe. A minority ALP govt backed by pragmatic community independents would have every chance to be more functional (especially at providing the basic service of good government) than an overly powerful unaccountable majority ALP govt 🙂

        Thankyou for your positive message.

        “Minority Government” is a dirty word in most social circles and I think that a lot of people interpret that a couple of independents would hold all the power.

        I do agree that ALP would be more functional in a minority government than the LP (or LNP).
