Death of majority governments

Xenophon will win at least two seats in South Australia and the Greens will retain Melbourne while picking up two more seats in Victoria and one in NSW.

This means that there could be twelve on the cross benches in the Reps – a beautiful situation.

In the Senate, the Greens will get two seats in every state and Xenophon will get four, three of whom will be in South Australia. Hanson and Lambie will win and Hinch has a good chance in Victoria. This will make it 19 for a Prime Minister to negotiate with.

This will be a humiliation for Malcolm Turnbull as his plan to reform the Senate will have failed dramatically and his calling of a double dissolution over a trifling piece of Union bashing legislation will have been a disaster.

So, who can best govern Australia by bringing these disparate groups together.

Will it be Shorten or Turnbull?

I reckon it will be neither.

Their Parties will blame them for the mess and reach out in hope to find someone who is an extraordinary leader, gifted in ignoring political, social, economic, religious and moral ideologies. This choice is the ultimate decision of the Election of 2016 and the Governor General may have to make it.

This is not a sad situation to be in as it will be the first days of a new era of revolutionary democracy.

Politicians themselves only have themselves to blame. They have caused voters to have a gutful of the Establishment after years of broken promises, childish spin and outdated ideologies of closed minds.

Revenge is nigh.

May it be peaceful.

The gates are wide open for a new Abraham Lincoln to step forward.
