  1. Yeah it’s either sf/ff or soc dems join current government.

    Neither will excite too many people.

  2. Considering SF want to raise taxes on people I don’t see why people would want that.

  3. It has been fascinating and sad to watch the Labour party commit hari-kari in front of us over the last 10 years. The way things are going the oldest party in the state might not be around for much longer.

  4. 87 for a majority in new money. I’d find it hard to see past a SF+FF coalition if the numbers panned out this way, though how stable that configuration would be long-term is another story. SF will prefer a fresh start and FF have never been the junior partner (unless you count confidence-and-supply, though I’d argue that is materially different.)
