Over the past eight years the NSW Nationals have slowly lost a third of its seats, a path back will be equally fraught

Eight years ago the Nationals held 18 seats in NSW, on Saturday they struggled to get to 11. A path back will be a seat-by-seat labyrinth for the party, writes Lauren Pezet.

@rebaillieu People want kinder governments that demonstrate care for everyone, especially those who need care and help the most, not just caring about those who need help the least. Also want care for our environment that enables life as we know it to flourish. #auspol #NSWElection2023

And while Liberal Party is better than other states in NSW, it is difficult to admit you have an ugly baby, and the Liberal Party needs to have that conversation" — Liberal Party Strategist Tony Barry.

How NSW election wins in Western Sydney helped turn state red again

Labor can, in part, thank Sydney's west for its surge to form majority government for the first time in 12 years, after reclaiming several seats in the area.

@dropbear42 @lilstevie @[email protected] @wintermin @kentparkstreet @snowchook There's a bigger national question out of tonight.

Over the past decade, the Libs have blindly followed Murdoch's lead.

They've pushed culture wars, they've resisted climate action, and they've privatised public assets. They've tried Islamophobia, homophobia, outright racism (particularly against Africans and Aboriginal people), and transphobia.

And now they're out of office across the mainland. Federal and state.

Maybe pretending this is America and playing to "the base" isn't working so well.
