The bottom line is our Australian voting system doesnt go by who got the most first choice votes. If it did goodbye Julia, hello Tony.It goes by Seats.Unfortunately.

Exactly right Cavey, the popular vote line is primarily used by media outlets as an attention grabbing headline.

It all comes down to seats and the magic number 76.

How a party gets to that number is a whole different matter.  #@#
