Labour Governor Daniel Andrews is on the verge of defeating Liberal Party leader Matthew Guy, to be re-elected by an overwhelming margin, focusing his campaign policy on Melbourne`s transport infrastructure.
Victorian voters went to polling stations today (Saturday, 24 November) to elect the fifty-ninth Victorian parliament, the 2018 state election took place today (Saturday, November 24).
The leaders of the Liberal Party and Labour Party, Guy and Andrews, also went to the district early in the morning to make the final election sprint.
Labour votes accounted for 53.5 percent and Unionparty 46.5 percent, according to ABC NEWS statistics released in the morning.
Herald Sun also used "neck and neck" to describe the strength of the Labour Party and the Liberal Party in anticipation of the election results, but because of its strong share in the suburbs and key areas, Labour`s chances of winning would be very high.
Journalist Peter saw in the Boxhill constituency that at 10: 00 am this morning, the popularity near the polling station was quite strong. Candidates and volunteer teams from all parties are making a final bid at the polls.
Interestingly, journalist found volunteers from different political parties outside the polling stations, even though, on the familiar social app social platform, supporters of different parties were already red-faced and even vehemently charged with each other, but outside the polling stations, the journalist found volunteers from different political parties. It was fun to have a nice conversation with each other. What is explained in this, please look at the official to judge on their own.

Journalist also noted at the scene that federal councillors Yang Qianhui and Liao Moon, who are in the same constituency, are also supporting each other`s political platforms in the same constituency, which are highly watched by Chinese people in the same constituency for next year`s federal councillors Yang Chien-hui and Liao Chan-nh. According to custom, once the state election is over, the most important test time for two people is coming.

According to an exclusive poll published by the Australian Financial Review, Unionparty`s campaign platform for combating crime and counter-terrorism has failed to win voters` hearts. The Labour Party, led by Governor Daniel Andrews (Daniel Andrews), is likely to win the election with a majority lead.

Opinion polls show that Unionparty is not as popular in Victoria as it is in Labour. Since November 9, when the deadly terrorist attack in (Bourke Street), Berkeley Street, Melbourne, Unionparty has been trying to win voters` hearts by focusing on fighting terrorism and crime. But from the current situation, this expectation has failed.
In fact, in the primary, Labour led the Unionparty by a narrow margin of 39:36. But polls by the Australian Financial Review and the Times also show that the attitude of other minority parties is also critical. The Greens, for example, could compete heavily for Labour`s election to inner-city seats.

Labour`s latest spending plan doubled
During a visit to the Deer Park and Greensborough regions of western Melbourne, Andrews promised to spend 15.8 billion on the construction of the "North East Link" railway project if he was re-elected governor of Victoria.
The center of gravity of the two parties` campaign is different.
It is understood that after the deadly terrorist attack in (Bourke Street), Berkeley Street, Melbourne, on 9 November, Unionparty, led by Guy, began to give up attention to issues affecting the daily lives of the vast majority of Victorian residents, and focused most of its efforts on the rules and regulations. The fight against terrorism and the fight against gang crime.
However, despite Guy and his Unionparty`s active attention to the current hot spots, and with Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Home Affairs minister Peter Dutton attacking the Victorian Labour Party, opinion polls show that Unionparty still lags behind Labour.

At the moment, the trouble with Unionparty is that few voters who used to support the Labour Party have turned to Unionparty after the horrors. In other words, too hard-line anti-crime rhetoric can lead to "backlash", provoking a backlash among many voters.
It is hard to say, however, whether the polls will translate into final support seats.
Everything will not really be known until after today`s election, but Andrews seems to be smiling.
