Well, as predicted Tassie is in a state of flux, with no one knowing the ultimate outcome of yesterday’s State election which ended with a hung parliament. 10 seats to Labor, 10 to Liberal, and 5 to the Greens holding the balance of power. An interesting position for all three parties, and probably the only ones really pleased are the Greens, for neither major party will be able to rule in its own right. Wouldn’t like to be in Nick McKim’s shoes as all the wheeling and dealing, er, I mean negotiation with the other Party leaders goes on behind closed doors.
Far be it from me to be cynical, but I don’t imagine all the boys and girls are going to play nicely in the sand pit before this thing is done and dusted. Should be an interesting week or two as everything unfolds, as remaining votes are counted, preferences dispersed, and politician’s futures, for this term anyway, are secured or dashed. Thank goodness we only have to do this every four years.
