Coalition Support Weakens In Tightly Contested By-Election
Early voting in an upcoming by-election suggests a collapse in support for the coalition, with much of it shifting to One Nation. If the coalition loses this heartland seat tomorrow, it will mark a serious blow. One Nation is expected to prove it can convert polls into federal seats, partly due to preferences from the Liberal and National parties, and Pauline Hanson may target regional seats. Support for the Labour and Conservative parties in Britain has reportedly collapsed. This has led to the emergence of a multi-party and multi-colored picture of local politics in the country.
