PREDICTION RESULT: (82/93 or 88.17%)
Synopsis: What was expected to be a rather complex election result that would be a minority government did not appear to manifest on election day, although the Coalition are still a single seat away from an outright majority (but lead in two of the three seats still outstanding, so it is likely the Berejiklian government has been returned). Labor looked set to take a few more seats from the Coalition but Michael Daley's last minute comments and blunders cost them some of their swing in Sydney seats, key to winning the state, though the blunders weren't severe enough to cost them any of the 34 they started out with. The Shooters, Fishers and Farmers party did remarkably well, joining the Greens with three seats each (the SFF kept Orange and gained two more, the Greens held their three). Independents also had a good night, with each of the independents winning re-election easily (and most if not all enjoyed swings to them, making their seats safer). And while I didn't bother with the Legislative Council, looks like ol' Mark Latham is back, this time as a One Nation politician. Overall, voter anger at the federal Coalition didn't seem to harm Gladys Berejiklian or her Coalition state team, and so they get a rare third term in  New South Wales.
