The Victorian election

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.
