Not sure how widely this little drama is known outside of Tassie. But this farce just keeps getting more ridiculous.

    I apologise if my summary is too biased/inaccurate, tried my best to be as impartial and factual as I could while falling asleep on my phone at 4am.

    Honestly not sure what to expect if a snap election is called, we can be a funny populace to call and a snap election leaves little time for political messaging to percolate, but also a commensurately short time to combat any poor messaging that gains a foothold.

    I think Dean Winters (the Labor leader) may be unpopular enough to cause Labor some grief at the ballot box, but the Liberals fumbling is going to give the party a small lift. Labors stance that they won’t partner with the Greens will also cause them some grief.

    I personally think independent stand the most to gain and will hold balance of power in whatever minority government gets through.

    Gun to my head - Labor minority.
