Queensland State election called for March 24th
For the purposes of State Government, Queensland is divided into 89 distinct areas known as electoral districts. Each district is represented by a single Member of Parliament (MP). A Queensland General Election is actually 89 separate elections, being for each electoral district. The results of these elections are added together and the majority group or party forms Government.
The 2012 Queensland state election will elect all 89 members of the Legislative Assembly on 24 March 2012. All seats in the Legislative Assembly, whose current members were elected at the 2009 election, will become vacant.
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.
Curiously Campbell Newman is trying to get to the premier position without currently holding a seat. This is being attempted for the first time in history. The premier must be one of the elected members and he/she is selected by the winning party. Therefore it could happen that the Liberal party wins the election, but if Campbell Newman can not win his seat in Ashgrove, then he won't be the premier. Someone else from the liberal party will be named Premier.
If the Labor Party wins then Anna Bligh should be the premier. But not even this is guaranteed. Australian electoral system is very particular for those used to a presidential system. Since you are really voting for each legislative member, not the premier. And then the party that wins the election selects one of its member to be the premier. Of course, most of the time is the leader.
But we saw what happened with Kevin Rudd, former Australian Prime Minister, who lost his position in an internal party battle, in which Julia Gillard became the new leader of the party and therefore the new Australian Prime Minister.
