[QUOTE]The result of the Queensland election remains in doubt, with neither Labor nor the Liberal National Party close to a majority by the end of counting on Saturday night.

Labor looks the more likely of the two major parties to form government, but ABC election analyst Antony Green said there was "a high probability" the ALP would not win the 47 seats needed for a majority.

Queensland Labor leader Annastacia Palaszczuk thanked supporters on Saturday night, saying she was confident of forming a government.

"Tonight, we are close to the peak but we are not quite there and we will not get there tonight," she said.

"But I remain confident we will be able to form a majority Labor government once all the votes are counted.

"And Queenslanders always win when we work together. I will always put Queenslanders first. One thing remains clear: I will never sell out the needs of Queenslanders by doing a deal with One Nation."

A short time after Ms Palaszczuk spoke, an upbeat LNP leader Tim Nicholls also thanked his supporters, saying up to 14 seats remained in doubt.

"What is abundantly clear is tonight Queenslanders have voted to shake things up," he said.

"It is clear that the Premier has not won a majority in her own right.

"The real question for tonight is will Annastacia Palaszczuk keep her word?

"Will Annastacia Palaszczuk and Labor keep their word that they will do no deals with the One Nation Party, no deals with Katter, no deals with Independents, no deals with minor parties?"[/QUOTE]

It's just a cycle of how people think federal level is going. It shouldn't reflect on state govt and they should be separate but that's moreso fiction these days.

Basically when labor is in govt and is unfavourable the states turn lnp and vice versa.

Labor will win federal next election if they replace shorten. If they don't it'll be a bit closer but probably still labor win.

I think Labor will definitely win with Shorten but even even more so with another leader
