The Poll Bludger has a comprehensive post on what’s happening in the WA state election. The polls are showing it might be a close run race, with a 51-49 result from Newspoll and basically a dead heat in Westpoll (albeit from a 400 strong sample). There’s also lots of electorate level polling to read about.

According to Today’s Dead Tree West, The Greens have decided to give their preferences to Labor, in light of Colin Barnett’s decison to allow Uranium Mining.
The Liberals are justing waiting for the Olympics to end before they announce their next Incredible Comedic Fuckup and Self-Sabotage. Either they’ll all remember why they hate Baranett so much, or the new shadow Treasurer, Mr Buswell, will start to miss the limelight and come up with something new.
And the so-called “Independent” Nationals have shown their true colours of despite no forming a formal coalition with the Libs, they’ll preference them anyway.
