That's related to a question I was going to ask --
What - other than a political disaster - would prevent some sort of Labor-National coalition (other than the LNP merger in Queensland)?
What - other than a political disaster - would cause African Americans to vote Republican in the mid-terms this year?
(okay, probably a little more chance of the Nationals going off and having a Coalition with Labor, but you get the point... the Coalition has been around for about 80 years now - longer than the Liberal Party has been in existance in its current form).
Didn't the Nationals have a coalition with Labor at the provincial level somewhere until recently?
