32. If Labor fails to get a majority then the Torries might govern.
That's the scenario that you fail to mention. If Labor fails to get a majority then it's not entirely clear which party would get a plurality, but whichever party that is would be asked by the Queen to form a government. So if the Torries do get a plurality instead of Labor then they would get first chance to form a coalition government would would almost certainly be to the right of the present government.

Myself, I will shed no tears if Labor loses. That's what they deserve after supporting Bush's illegal Iraq war.
