    This should be interesting especially considering the numbers. Labor almost lost that seat not sure if the people lost confidence in Robin or of they just wanted him to step aside for young blood. We will find out soon enough

    I wonder who would be chosen to sit as Deputy Speaker. Molwyn seems the most likely candidate since he might not run next general election. or maybe Max Fernandez? Regardless, win or lose, the government will have make changes to its Cabinet makeup.
