As no party has won the election, it should be decided on who 'lost' the election, and on that note, labor should bow out of the fight.

They have gone from a strong majority of '86' seats, to a possible '72, or 73'.

This is largely due to thier gross incompitence as a government.

JG should do the 'manly thing' and throw the towl in, as it is very clear that the 'people' simply don't want her and her party anymore.

rehctub,

It seems to me that the "people" simply didn't want either of 'em.
We should lament the dearth of leadership talent and a system which turns itself into a self-serving carnival of bribery and insincerity and calls itself an "election campaign".

Sarah Hanson Young is the epitome of everything I cant stand about the Greens. I cant stand her ever since seeing her ridiculous ranting on Q&A and the pious smugness she showed on the election coverage.

Bob's a good bloke though. It was good to see the old guy try to hold back a smile on the happiest day of his life.

I cant wait for the Greens to start using their powers, and everyone finding out how their idealistic naivety plays out in the real world.

A quote I remember fondly goes something remotely like 'Show me someone under 30 who is right wing, and I'll show you someone with no heart. Show me someone over 30 who is left wing and I'll show you a dreamer with no brain.

'Kevin07 is a man who likes his revenge served cold.'

Good stuff Col. Welcome back!

" ... If the worst does happen, there is a possibility that the libs get 74 to Labor's 71, at which point it is all over. ... "

Indeed, but will they play old school and seek to intergrate 2 of Bob, Tony & Rob

OR

do something new, creative and futuristic and integrate Adam & Andrew, with a cabinet seat for each, say enviro & defence & most importantly, have them in the front line to communicate with the Green Senate.

..

I can't express how much I am enjoying observing all of this, albeit admittedly from a somewhat limited vantage point.

Houellebecq,

Damn and botheration, I *almost* agree with You about Sarah Hanson Young's painfully naive,inept performances even on ABC 4 this morning. She showed the worst sense of political timing and sense I've in recent years....then again it could have been ABC editing. They had just announced another Aussie death in Afghanistan and she came on spruiking Greens opposition to the campaign and their call for a debate! (to think we're paying her a pile of money for her ineptitude).

CJ she is SO GREEN (both meanings) she should be kept away from public comment, she is an embarrassment and a negative to the Green cause.
She isn't a Stott-Despoja -?

Col,

It's good to see that Labor has done one thing right "caused you to be sick"....I suspect it was a fur ball from preening perhaps?

HB>>I cant wait for the Greens to start using their powers, and everyone finding out how their idealistic naivety plays out in the real world.

You can not be serious.

You quite obviously have no idea what the consequences is of the greens policies on almost everything.

Be carefull what you wish for.

Jobs, Jobs, and more Jobs are at huge risk.

Gay marriage is the least of our worries with this mob.
