Whatever the outcome of yesterday’s federal election, the political parties will need to court the support of (at least 3) Independent winners to govern.
The power of the people has the vote!!! People, not parties are the victors here. Congratulations to The Greens for their first ever House of Representatives seat and, in combination with Independent members will hold the balance of power in The Senate. Congratulations to young 20 year old Wyatt Roy for not only voting for the first time but also winning his seat in Queensland!!! Our youth are our future!!!
A win all round for democracy and the people of Australia!!! In Lingiari (my electorate in the Northern Territory), the incumbent ALP member, Warren Snowdon, lost significant ground (14% swing against) while the Independent, Deirdre Finter, is leading the other independent candidates.
