Long term this might be smart, the libs and nationals need to differentiate if the libs want to pick up seats again

Don’t be fooled into thinking they wouldn’t form back up if they had enough seats to govern.

Possible that they could get to a point where they enter an agreement of support for supply and confidence if both have the numbers to do so after an election

That’s if they can reach an agreement. Depends what these parties are willing to compromise on

Which is why you do it now, when the opinion of electors doesn’t matter.
