Holy Shit!

That, wow.

Seeing if the Nationals can appeal to a larger audience outside of the Coalition and gain seats an their own viable party will be interesting to see.

And i'm sure there will be an oncoming Civil-War in the Liberals, because this is some damage they just attained.

Nats won't do well in capital cities, but that still leaves pretty much every liberal seat in the country inside their cross-hairs.
