A couple of points:
One Nation getting into bed with Libs (preference deals) has been a disaster, which is likely to see a stronger swing to Labor and other minor parties.
You made no mention of Independent candidates, I think there will be a large increase due to voter dissatisfaction with all the major and minor parties, and finally,
It won't really matter much, the State is broke, the same old same old just won't be enough to repair the damage and lastly voter apathy and hubris will see more of a 'selection' rather than 'election' for any meaningful change.
A pity really when you consider the opportunities this State could offer with good management, fiscal prudence and a little vision and resolve.
Cheers, Geoff
