Predictions
Background
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queensland_state_election,_2012
The Labor Party, currently led by Premier Anna Bligh, will attempt to win a sixth term against the Liberal National Party currently led by Campbell Newman. It would also be the ALP's attempt at a ninth consecutive election victory having won every general election since 1989 although it was out of office between 1996 and 1998. Katter's Australian Party will be contesting the election for the first time. It currently holds two seats in parliament, one gained as a result of Aidan McLindon's merger of his Queensland Party with Katter's group and the other after LNP MP Shane Knuth defected.
In the 2009 state election—of 89 seats total—Labor won 51 seats, the Liberal Nationals won 34 seats, with four seats held by independents.
