I wouldn't know enough about Australian politics these days to know to be honest. The Greens here would've had to compromise with a rainbow coalition, but I doubt they would've been hammered as much in polls. For a start I don't think they'd have been ridden as much by FG/Labour - but mainly because FG/Labour don't have the same killer instinct, but who knows given how they've done anything to cling to power the last few years. Also they didn't go into the last election making speeches about "Planet Enda" and whatever about people saying they're all the same, it's clear that FF have dodgier morals than most.
