Hung Parliament and Independents


According to the media, private polling by both major political parties, shows that this March 20th. election will be very close.

I think that it will almost be a re-run of the 2002 state election where no party had a clear majority and Mike Rann cleverly convinced enough independents, to support him, and he formed government.

This time around, independents again will be the makers of a government, Labor or Liberal. There will be no "Rannslide" this time.
Isobel Redmond will have learnt a lot from recent history.

But of course, it is the voters who have the final power to make or break a government and they will be weighing up spin over substance, arrogance over hope.
