In less than an hour we will know who will be the prime minister of this country.
The present prime minister will bring on a spill of all positions, and will then compete with his deputy. It will be resolved by the numbers game.
Shakespeare said " Uneasy lays the head that wears a crown ".
Unease also shakes the nerves of politicians holding seats with slim margins, plus the factional bosses and the army of supporters who have their snouts in the gravy train as a result of political patronage.
It has become clear that Kevin Rudd has lost the confidence of the Australian people. His administration has failed to deliver the pre-election promises - and despite unlimited spin - the judgement is that he has failed.
Self preservation is a dominant emotion and immense pressure will have been brought on those who will cast a vote this morning.
For better or worse - Rudd's fate will be decided before this day ends.
