Haven’t seen another post for election updates yet, so creating this. Share your bets on how many times Anthony Green is going to have a screen malfunction.

    I think it would have been the blocking of legislation last year, if anything.

    But i have heard the seats they won last time were a bit of fluke narrow path to victory that would be hard to hold, but the ABC are saying they’re marginally increasing overall vote share 12.5% to 12.7%.

    So maybe this will be a story about an aberration election, followed by a correction to their tradition of rising broad support across Australia.

    If thats the case then they shouldn’t look at tonight’s outcome as a bad result, they gave the Majors their first genuine scare last election, with their vote share rising, this will make it more likely to happen in more diversified seats across the country. Thats a great future for the Greens, what they don’t want is to have a fate like the Nationals where they’re geographically cornered with no real avenue for growth as a Party.
