The government lasted the full term however was constantly under attack for pandering to the Greens and was destroyed in the next election.
It's like the people weren't happy with the people making deals to have power with non-like minded other parties and voted them out. I'm utterly shocked.

Teaming up with another party you just spent months campaigning against to gain power just makes politics that much more laughable to me.
