The Opposition faces an uphill run to November 26 and Labor can afford to lose a lot of skin before it loses its majority. | Josh Gordon | ANALYSIS springst
Matthew Guy is back in the race, though he faces an uphill run to November 26 that will require grit, skill and a huge amount of luck if he is to prevail.
For a party that has lagged in the polls for the past three years, making up that amount of ground over the next eight or so months would be the equivalent of running a marathon in under two-and-a-half hours. Even so, according to the latest Resolve poll, Labor’s primary vote has collapsed by a full six percentage points since the November 2018 state election. If not for the government’s significant buffer, Labor hardheads might be getting anxious.Unlike the Coalition’s 2018 campaign, which heavily focused on law and order, this time Guy’s strategy is to force Labor to fight on multiple fronts.
