As Australia heads to the polls, big parties brace for rise of independents
"In an election marked by a cost of living crisis, over 18 million Australians will choose between the Labor party and the Liberal/National Coalition."
"Despite a promising start in their campaign, the Coalition's support seems to be declining, with Labor potentially poised for a minority or majority government."
This Saturday, over 18 million Australians will vote in a highly anticipated election where the incumbent Labor party faces off against the conservative Coalition. The election occurs during a cost of living crisis, prompting approximately one-third of voters to consider options outside the main parties. The polling suggests Labor could secure a minority or majority government depending on preference distributions. The Greens are also a significant player, seeking a balance of power if no outright victory occurs. The political landscape is further complicated by the presence of fringe parties attracting voter attention and support.
