The Crikey Victorian Election tipping contest presents our readers with a unique opportunity to prove that they are the real political experts and win a dozen of the especially bottled Bragging Rights Red to boot. What is needed is an assessment of Labor’s chance of winning every one of the 88 Legislative Assembly seats being contested tomorrow.
Entries in to the same kind of contest based on the Queensland election earlier this year proved a reliable guide to the final result with contestants getting within one seat of Labor’s final tally. The collective wisdom about tomorrow is for Labor to win 52 seats.
It seems that I have been more impressed with the Liberal Party campaign than most observers with my entry giving a predicted Labor win of 48 seats. My colleague Christian Kerr puts the likely figure at 45.
For your opportunity to humiliate us both with your superior skill, get your entry in here before midnight tonight.
The form guide follows:
