Just because it has happened in the past does not mean it's a good thing.
its not . But Playford got away with it for 38 years not 4.

Like they have done the last few times, and libs still lost
The systemic thing is the state libs taking their constituency for granted

either way... There will be blood.

Watching Mulligan, Malinauskas and Koutsiantonis fight will prove very interesting.
All of the same generation, all nominated by the right faction as future leaders.
Unfortunately the right faction's turn system doesn't extend to the leadership.
Re Libs not a hope in hell will Chapman lead. Next leader will be Knoll or van Polk Holst

Malinauskas is a soda for next ALP leader.

Indeed, the only thing worse than elections and voting is no elections and no voting

Labor 20, Liberal 23, Xenophon 2, Independents 2 (Bedford & Bell)

You've got Brock losing Jimmy?
I'll say 19 Labor, Liberal 23 (Elder Colton and Possibly Mawson), SA best 2 (2 hills from the LIbs (Morialta and Heysen) or possibly I x Hills I x Mawson (Lee & Giles a possibility too)) Independants 3 (Bedford, Bell and Brock)
Newland will be interesting.
Results in the key seats will be dependent on the Margin between the primary vote winner and who comes 2nd especially if they are SA Best)
Still sticking with a hung parliament result.

It's a lottery Jimmy, no-one really knows. Either way I have serious doubts either the current Liberal or Labor leader will see us through to the next election. A Wingard v Malinauskas war looms. All any of us want is a better outcome for the state, I don't know if either party are really offering that unfortunately.

I wasn’t even old enough to vote in the Playford era
