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.

Background
Yama 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 memrger 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 Plupsnup the party chairman. 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.
