A decision is looming!
By this time tomorrow, we should hopefully know who our next Prime Minister will be!
Expectations are that the key Independents – Bob Katter, Rob Oakeshott and Tony Windsor – who currently hold the balance of power, will make their decisions public either by the end of today or early tomorrow morning.
Speculation has been rife as to which party they will lend their support to, especially as Green’s MP Adam Bandt and Independent MP Andrew Wilkie have both declared their support for the Australian Labor Party.
So who do they choose? The Coalition – Liberals and Nationals – which would see Tony Abbott as our new Prime Minister or the Australian Labor Party, which would see Julia Gillard sworn in as the leader of our nation. It’s not a decision they would be taking lightly, they all have their own constituents and policies to consider. Whatever their end decision may be, they will no doubt be considering these first and foremost and selecting the party which recognises them best.
We’d like to know your thoughts on the current battle for power and which way you think the Independents will sway:
What party are the Independents likely to support in order to form the new Australian government and why?
