THE LIBERAL government has collapsed just days after it was formed, with Hotham Independent MP u/Mad_Bear_O_Melbourne announcing he would leave the governing coalition.

The move came just 30 minutes after Prime Minister u/Griffonomics released the confidence and supply agreement, which laid out the terms of the coalition between the Liberal Party, the Hotham MP and Sydney MP u/Explosivo_2002.

Prime Minister u/Griffonomics' juggling act between the conservative Liberals and progressive independent MPs has come crashing down.

In the Hotham MP's statement, he cited a member of the Liberal Party executive's retweets of offensive material.

"I have also had an overwhelming amount of calls to my office expressing disappointment in my joining of the Liberal Government" he stated.

It is unclear whether the opposition Social Democratic Party will form government, or whether the President will call for new elections.
