There was no major surprise in the Victorian election result where Labor has been comfortably returned. Interesting aspects include:
- The Nats defied doomsday predictions and retained party status.
- The Liberals and Greens failed to increase their primary votes.
- The media darlings (Greens) won't win a lower house seat.
- Labor no longer holds any seats in Gippsland.
- The Labor primary vote in Mildura was just 6.53%. Has the ALP ever polled that badly in any seat anywhere?
- The winners: Steve Bracks and Peter Ryan.
- The losers: Ted Baillieu (despite his bluster) and the Greens.
