South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill says the "splintering" conservative vote will make way for Labor to reclaim government at the March state election.
Mr Weatherill would not rule out doing a deal with independents, including Nick Xenophon's SA Best, and believes the new party will make a more damaging dent in the Liberal vote.
"Even the Liberal Party strategists are giving up six seats so it's very hard to see how the Liberal Party would cobble together a majority," he told reporters on Monday.
