Lets keep this as an election thread of tips, so we can go back and poke sticks at longlyingfool and laugh at his outrageous predictions.
My prediction is a very close election, could go either way but if the polls are correct another hung parliament and given Abbott is a shithouse negotiator another three years of a Labor government.

The fact the polls are already 50/50 is interesting given in an election campaign they get even tighter. Australia has a history of close elections, longwhinyfool calling -53/47 just shows why longwhinyfool is a suitable nick for him.
I doubt we will se a poll over the next five weeks more than two points difference. The voters have to get serious now and so all the huffing and puffing saying they will support phoney Tony that has gone on in the past three years will evaporate as has been evident since Rudds return.
Another hung parliament is the most likly scenario, which means another three years of a minority Labor government given the GREENS and independents will support Labor over phoney Tony. Katter has already gone on record saying he will back Rudd if a hung parliament occurs and Wilkie would be unlikely to support phony Tony too. This will probably all end in tears for the conga line.

On the Left, I hear worrying numbers saying they intend to vote informal; in the Rep's, at least. The Right seem to think the sun shines out of Abbott's arse.

The Coalition could win by default.

Whoever wins, the Senate will probably be hostile. The worst result would be for any block to hold a majority in both houses.

We will see. I doubt very much 53/47. Maybe 51/49, 52/48 at the highest possible. And then when the wanker gets in and realises leprauchans don't exist and money doesn't grown on trees perhaps he will just slide away into oblivion and let people with brains lead.

And I'm just glad the share market has gone up 10000000 points in the last 40 mins.

Do you think tony will now explain how hr will cut spending? Or will we learn on the 8th? Going by what you say, it should be very easy for tony to cut spending. But no one can explain what his cuts will be?
