The NSW Liberals have scored an historic, though well predicted, election win.

It remains to be seen what this will mean for Christians.

However, in the Upper House, the balance of power has clearly shifted away from the Greens, who had espoused several policies in direct opposition to Christian morals.

In the Lower House, where the Greens had been talking up their chances, the party is still waiting to see whether they have won anything.

As of Monday morning, the seat of Marrickville looked likely to stay with Labor although it was a closer race in Balmain, the seat held by the former education minister Verity Firth.

If anything, the surprise was the strength of the Liberal vote in those areas.

The new Premier, Barry O'Farrell, said he thought the voters had turned their back on the Greens.

"There are the genuine environmental Greens and there is the Lee Rhiannon-type Green who seems to be more about old-style leftist policies than modern Australia," the new Premier said.

Upper House votes

The shift in Upper House power comes courtesy of a huge vote for the Liberals, which will see them likely take 19 seats out of the 42 in Upper House.

Labour is likely to end up with 14, and to get it's legislative way the Liberals will need 22 votes.

The Shooters party and the Christian Democrats are set to gain one seat each for a total of four seats in the new Parliament, and the Liberals will look to align with them to achieve their agenda.

Rev Gordon Moyes, now a candidate for the Family First party, failed to gain re-election.
