  1. @nimalan it doesnt matter because who would vote aginst there own party to be in govt? you could get the speakership without ratting

  2. However, if there 44 all if one party nominates a speaker then they will have fewer members thats why in 44 all case there is a issue.

  3. Nimalan with 44 all there can be no govt because you need a majority. So it wouldn’t even get to the speaker stage. Any turncoat mp would quickly find themselves without a job in 4 years.

  4. Couple of factors now working against Staikos potentially here – the small Jewish population might swing further to the right (I imagine some of that has already occurred) and issues with Kingston council (that are also implicating the member for Carrum) are raising questions as to his conduct as the local government minister

  5. I’m not convinced Labor is in any real trouble here along with rest of snadbelt. Labor’s trouble are regional, rural and out suburbs.

  6. More broadly yes, but these more localised issues might be an issue in Bentleigh, Mordicalloc, Clarinda and Carrum – I could foresee some of the more aggrieved IND councillors at Kingston running again as Independents and possibly doing quite well drawing support from both major parties.
