Both majors don’t see the forest for the trees meaning they need to compromise to form minority gov’s
Labor had the chance here but was too stubborn to compromise with ❌ bench.
It’s their loss - literally…and everyone else’s as great things could have been achieved here
Sad

Today's blog post is probably my favourite bit of analysis I can do for Hare-Clark elections - mapping out the relative support of candidates within the same party in an electorate #politas #tasvotes
Today's blog post explores how the preference counts played out in Bass and Clark, where candidates came from behind to win #tasvotes #politas
Final #TasVotes seat declared and the dodgy AFL stadium (which Tas can’t afford, is located near the shrine of remembrance, does not have adequate access to public transport) is looking dead
Fingers crossed for a Labor, Greens and Independent government - I think it will do tremendous things ✅🤞🏻
ALP: loosing seats to community independents in Tasmania.

The lack of due process revealed here in a series of statements by Tasmanian MPs is quite shocking: Crossbenchers ‘Blindsided’ by Marinus Link Info Lockdown

The exclusion of #5 Liberal candidate Jessica Barnett in Clark has almost closed the gap between Simon Behrakis and Madeleine Ogilvie. The #4 candidate will also go out next and it's looking more likely that Ogilvie will win. #tasvotes
in case anyone missed it, Antony Green is doing his normal thing on his own blog! #tasvotes #politas

Distributions of preferences have commences in Tasmania, so I have started a live blog here: www.tallyroom.com.au/60961 #politas #tasvotes
Is it possible that Labor, after polling a record low vote and winning barely a quarter of seats, could form government? Or could they have no choice but to form government? Ben discussed this topic with @cmonnox.bsky.social and @kevinbonham.bsky.social last week on the podcast #politas #tasvotes
Why don’t Labor and Liberal team up in a coalition? They’re basically the same party. #politas #tasvotes
What if the Independents and Green get together with some rational members of the House from the two old parties?
Tasmania's minority government could form out of an alliance lead by the cross bench.
Rusted-ons who won't negotiate will be losers.

For this week's podcast with Chris Monnox and Kevin Bonham, we discuss the tendency in Tasmanian elections for anti-hung parliament voters to swing behind whoever can win a majority, and whether it had an effect in 2025. #tasvotes #politas
Whenever I've needed direction in life, I ask myself, what would the big guy upstairs do?
Then I'm off out the door to break some hearts❤️

Tassie's water bills will be going up by 40%, but fear not - we're building a giant bathtub at Mac Point.

Tassie Labor should concede defeat because they don't have a majority of seats like we don't.

On this week's podcast with Chris Monnox and Kevin Bonham, Ben discussed the inclusion of former federal MPs and other big names who aren't sitting state MPs on the major party tickets in the Tasmanian election, and how it will likely push out some incumbent MPs. #tasvotes www.tallyroom.com.au/60946
Danes step up to rescue Tassie's economy as the two old parties bicker.
Maybe Dean Winter (ALP) could watch some episodes of Borgen to learn about adult politicians negotiating.
Fair exchange?

Negotiating with independents after Tassie election.
Instead of a stadium at Mac Point, how about -
A helicopter pad for Jeremy and other celebs;
or
A small palace for Jeremy and other royalty;
or
A statue of Jeremy;
or
A giant chocolate statue. Of Jeremy.

No policy commitments in contrast with Rockliff's April 10, 2024 agreement with the Jacqui Lambie Network - ie that the Integrity Commission will be "beefed up" or the (near complete) review of Right to Information etc #politas #tasvotes #auspol

Premier Rockliff has sent a draft "Foundations of Stability" framework to independent cross-bench MPs & "single-member parties" (ie the Shooters Fishers & Farmers Party)
Rockliff does not mention the Greens #politas #auspol #tasvotes
