Perhaps the ability to try and form a minority government depends on which party Has luck, or not

Imagine if it had been Turnbull v Gillard

While Mr Rabbit is applauded by LNP members for the increased Lib vote, he merely energized the party, unjustly claims credit where ALP idiocy was the contributor.  The off-putting aspects of his policies and personality are being ignored.

Abbott as leader probably prevented LNP victory.

Turnbull is more appealing, especially to those concerned on environmental issues, and has demonstrated the kind of willingness to stand on principle, that I suspect would have got the Libs easily across the line if the ALP backroomers had still acted as they did, knifing KRudd.
