The vote is always decided by the two big provinces out east, so the government is already elected halfway through the day here. It's a depressing thing, but it happens.

I think it was a direct result from this and because the opposition candidate focussed on the electorate that, at the last election, the sitting Prime Minister lost his seat. It's only happened once before.
