Abbott will just win but he will only last 6 mths when he calls a DD and gets booted out

The recipe for a hung parliament.

So where will the alliances fall this time.

Will Abbott get in bed with Katter
Will Rudd go down on Clive
Will Greens be the King Makers

Whats your call on this hung parliament about to be voted in.

Palmer will win nothing.
Abbott picks up both retiring independents seats..

Greens will maybe stay as they are at best. They've lost a lot of charisma replacing Brown with a nobody.

You seem to think the coalitions last three years have even good. Roll Eyes

What do you base that on?
I've said the last 3 years have been a Fking shambles of a Government.
I've also said I don't think Abbott would be a good PM and have always wanted Turnbull.

None of those opinions of mine have changed in 3 years.

You must be getting confused, what with trying to keep track of Australia, England, South Africa and the USA ... no wonder you think it has been a shambles

Not a single surplus. Tax increased on the middle incomes. Benefits cut - including to single mothers. Now a fast tanking economy and continued job losses. Yep, Fking shambles. But you're objective right John? Not like you'll definitely vote Labor eh?

I'd be willing to bet you haven't voted labor federally (in Australia) since they first let you vote.

Anyone objective would look at that debt and understand that we would most likely be in a similar debt position regardless of labor or liberal, and even worse, if we had taken up the liberal option, we would most likely be in recession .... but you're objective right dopey?

At least be honest.

Are you dam stupid or are you just plain stupid? I've told you many times that I consider myself a labor man ... don't try this 'at least be honest' crap with me, you wouldn't know what honest is ....

by the way, do you think I didn't notice that you avoided responding to my comment about you voting labor??? ... before you question anyone else's honesty, at least have the decency to be honest with yourself.

So, if your Parliament is split 50/50 then is it simply a mad scramble to see which of the two major parties can put together a coalition government? Who governs in the meantime?
