Does the Mad Monk winning the PM-ship affect the race? I don't think the Libs will lose here, but it will be closer than Tassie and they'll save some furniture at least.

The electoral boundaries are just horrible - 51.6% of the vote and still not winning the most seats... a smaller popular vote victory and failing to win isn't terrible, 50.5% or so, but winning by that sort of a margin...

Labor managed to hold on by means of an effective marginal seat campaign, their two most marginal seats (Light and Mawson) swung to them. On a brighter note, the Liberals did pick up Adelaide, Morialta and Norwood, the latter of which is the seat of Steven Marshall, likely the next Premier of SA.

The best thing about the last state election in SA, in my opinion, was the post-election resignation of Attorney-General Michael Atkinson.
Oh yeah, he was a mega douche IIRC.

Amazing. Labor had no right to win the election, yet I can't see the Liberals being able to form government.
