Tim Nicholls is unlikely to hang on as the leader of Queensland's Liberal National Party, according to one of the party's MPs.

Nine days after voters went to the polls, Queensland still doesn't have a government but Labor is expected to clinch the 47 seats it needs to form a majority government.

The LNP hasn't conceded defeat but that hasn't stopped members past and present from starting the post-mortem over its poor poll performance.

The LNP's Dale Last, who remains locked in a tight vote count with Labor in the seat of Burdekin, says the party failed to connect with rural and regional voters and believes Mr Nicholls won't survive as leader.
