Overall
50.3 to 49.7 in our favour.
This number is going to be important. Having a majority of the overall vote allows us to make a claim in a hung parliament that we have the moral authority to govern. There’s no rules about this, but it will be an argument used.
Everybody seems to be just accepting it’s a hung parliament at this point, although it’s not yet official and won’t be for some days.
Bob Katter (one of the independents) says that they will choose as a block who to support. As most of them are former members of conservative parties, that’s probably good for us.
