    Hmmm, Newspoll all locked up with a surging "Other" vote… what's the bet the next Senate is as uncontrollable as the last?

        I assume the reasoning was that a colsolidated xenophon +1/2 bloc is easier to negotiate with than existing senate

        This senate was quite controllable. It's just that this mob of LNP lacked the ability to put forward legislation that was fair

        Agreed. They were actually quite consistent for a disparate group, but were faced with unpalatable legislation.

        @phbarratt Senate not so much 'uncontrollable', more a need to negotiate & an arrogant #LNP incapable of this skill

        @juliecorb a few independent thinkers certainly means that things will be discussed and thought out. No rubber stamp decisions

        @TurnbullMalcolm meant to be a great deal maker. As opposed to @TonyAbbottMHR who wanted to rule with impunity. #auspol

        with 25% of the vote going to neither @AustralianLabor or LNP, maybe the message here is the majors need 2 work with others.
