	Kapur: "Lasanne could be Hope's end" Saturday, November 17, 301 AP Web posted at 1835 UST. Broadcasting live on Utania's Channel Two tonight will be Zeitgeist News, which will cover the Lasanne state election, and political analyst Professor Kapur has said that the government is looking strong with the majority of sixty most-certain seats going to the government. However, Professor Kapur admitted that the "flakey" position of the government's support could undermine them, and that Lasanne could become quite a narrow state election. "It is not impossible, looking at the figures, that Lasanne could spell the end of Governor Hope's Presidential dreams", Professor Kapur noted. "There is nothing in the rulebook that dictates that the Conservative Governor MUST have a Conservative-lead coalition in the House of Representatives." Professor Kapur presented what he considered the likely fall of sixty "safe" seats, (shown below) which leave thirty-three seats with margins that make them less easy to predict at this early stage. Counting of votes has only been progressing for the past thirty minutes and few results have been posted by the Utanian Electoral Commission. Professor Kapur conceded that there would be "few surprises" in his choice of "safe" seats in the diagram above. He noted that it gave the Conservative-lead coalition thirty-six seats of the "safe" sixty, but that the remaining thirty-three would be the deciders. "What is the key to this election is the marginal seats. And I find it facinating that it is not in the city (Luka) that the undecided seats exist, but in the government heartland, rural seats in the state's centre, where I believe the Burovians will do the most damage. I do not believe that the Government is a sure bet, not just yet. But, I do believe that perhaps with Liberal and Burovian support they would be."

This could conceivably establish the party-pair in the balance of power. Coverage of the election tonight continues on Zeitgeist News, broadcasting via Utania's Channel Two until 2am tonight.
