State/Territory Politics

Tassie is going to an(other) early election.

The parliament will return to 35 seats after being reduced to 25 seats at the 1998 election. Each of the five seats will now return seven representatives under the Hare-Clark preferential voting system.

I think this will be a fascinating election night. I highly doubt either the Liberals or Labor will win a majority, the Greens should gain seats but what votes the independents and others like Jacqui Lambie Network get and where their preferences flow could make for a very interesting hung parliament.
