Next Australian federal election

The Next Australian federal election will be held sometime on or before 26 October 2019, or earlier if a snap or double dissolution election is called. The incumbent United Democratic government will be opposed by the Liberal Party in opposition. The Revolutionary Socialist Party, Australian Progressives, MattMonti's SA-BEST and the Australian Labor Party will also likely contest the election.

Background
Yala Talama of the ABC stated after the final declaration that "Unless UDP and Liberals choose to form a Grand Coalition, the outcome of this parliament will fall on the supplementary election." The aforementioned grand coalition would have 10 out of 15 MPs, however, shortly after the election, Manly-Kitten, MP for Cowper, defected to the Agrarian Party. Shortly afterwards, the Agrarian Party and the Australian Greens officially applied for a merger with the Australian Electoral Commission under the name of the Australian Labor Party, although a party under the name of the Australian Labor Party is still registered. Under this, Manly-Kitten would become the party leader, Mad_Bear_O_Melbourne his deputy, and FinePorpoise the party chairman. The party was ultimately registered. Under the current situation, the crossbench essentially holds the balance of power. The United Democrats would require 3 or more crossbench partners to form government, while the Liberals would need 4 or more. This figure would be decreased by 1 depending on who wins the Sydney supplementary election. On 29 July 2019, dyljam was appointed Prime Minister and a member of the executive council by President RunasSudo. On 3 August 2019, Liberal candidate Riley8583 won the Sydney supplementary election, August 2019. On 4 August 2019, the South Gippsland Network successfully applied to rename to the Australian Progressives. The Socialist Party of Australia who still held a seat in the Senate at the time, were also deregistered by request, with leader NGSpy joining the Australian Progressives. On 11 August 2019, AussieConservative, Riley8583, and superpacman04, MP for Hotham registered the National Party of Australia. The Liberal Party announced they would work with the National Party in an opposition coalition.
