Federal Election Result - will we have actually have a winner?

[peteramjet]

Experts are indicating the ALP will get to 74 seats, short of the 76 required to form a majority government. The LNP will likely be stuck around 50 seats, so they will be well short.

The LNP conceded last night, and the ALP have claimed a victory. However both Albanese and Morrison came out prior to the election stating they would not form a minority Government with others, and would only govern in their own right.



Now we are in a situation where neither party will likely gain the majority required, and both have indicated they won't pander to minor parties or independents - so where does that leave us?

The LNP are out, that leaves the ALP and Albanese to form a minority Government with others - and in doing so he will get into Government by going against one of his election promises.

Hardly the ideal way for Albanese to start a term as PM, and if does do it, what does that say to the electorate about his honesty?
