Who won in South Australia

[donnashuggy]

If Labor didn't? Or is it that some cannot accept defeat? I keep hearing people from the right saying get over it and move on but that thread just takes the cake 🙂

Labor didnt they lost 3 and maybe 4 seats and have to yet again rely on an independent to form a govt that they will have the terms dictated to them by 1 person.......

Cant call that a win........  The only winner is 1 person who got a  new job and a fat pay rise out of his deal and now controls the govt.

Labor lost  On a 2PP basis, the Liberals resulted 54.7% vs Labor's 45.3%. 

They may be the govt (for now) but only because of the choice 1 person made, labor didnt win in any way or form.....  So nothing at all to gloat about... or is that crow about......

Apparently Labor isn't allowed to take preferences.

Only the Liberals are allowed to inflate their votes with National Party preferences and (often questionable) independents. 

Brock made a sensible decision in light of the situation.

The LNP lost what they were expecting to be a huge land slide victory. Must be hard for them to swallow lol

Unfortunately for the inhabitants of South Australia the election result will mean that they miss out. Imagine being the odd one out in a vast majority. Realistically they will get the brown end of the stick when it comes to any support from the Federal Government, unfair?

Yep unfair!  Realistic? Yep reality bites

Do I get green too Donna?? 🙂

reminds me of this manly supporter I know, when manly loses - they don't really, it's just the ref cheated.

even the libs wanted Labor to win

It has been a long campaign - maybe that can be South Australian Liberal leader Steven Marshall's excuse for a final day slip-up.

Visiting a chocolate factory in Adelaide, he told reporters the state's voters should opt for Labor when they go to the ballot box.

and they did.

So you don't understand then? If you do can you please explain how many seats the Liberal Party won and how that is a loss for Labor?

No green for me Donna?

Never mind, I know you agree with me 🙂
