For all you Labour (sorry Labor) supporters out there, I'm predicting your lot will stay in.
The constitution gives them the advantage. Couple that with the self interest of Labor and those holding the balance of power, and it's basically ensured. Gillard and Abbott have both done well for their parties - weird having 2 heroes when no one has victory.
A proper coalition for a short time has to be better than a Labor or Liberal government at the moment. Politics at State and Federal levels is in a shocking mess - it can only get better, surely!
