It is now six days on from the Queensland election, and while Labor is confident of claiming victory it is still one seat short of a majority.

Opposition Leader Tim Nicholls is not conceding with six seats still too close to call.

But if Labor doesn't reach the magic 47 seats needed for a majority, how will Government be formed?

Will Palaszczuk govern with the support of crossbenchers?

During the election campaign, Labor leader Annastacia Palaszczuk made repeated promises she would only govern with a majority.

Ms Palaszczuk even went so far as professing she would go into opposition rather than rely on the crossbench.

The ABC's election computer predicts Labor will win 47 seats and the LNP 40.

But if Ms Palaszczuk also falls short of a majority on 46 or fewer, the question remains — will she govern with crossbench support?

The ABC asked Ms Palaszczuk if she would, and a spokesperson replied with a written statement.

"As the Premier said last Saturday night, she was confident of forming a majority Labor Government once all votes had been counted," the spokesperson said.

Could the LNP form a minority government?

If Labor does not get a majority and refuses to govern, the LNP will try to get support to form a minority government.

Mr Nicholls would need the backing of every single crossbencher, including independents, the Katter's Australian Party MPs and crucially, a Greens MP.

Given the Queensland Greens have already ruled out supporting the LNP, ABC election analyst Antony Green said it was highly unlikely Mr Nicholls could form a minority government.

"If he doesn't have the numbers to present to the Governor, in a debate about who should form government at the first sitting, then the Governor is going to reappoint the current Government," he said.

In other words — the LNP is out.

So what happens if one side can't form government and the other won't?

The Queensland Governor would have the decision of choosing who would have the best chance of making a stable Government.

Antony Green said the same situation actually happened in Tasmania in 2010.

"The Labor Government lost office, lost majority and recommended the Opposition be appointed government," he said.

"But the Governor wouldn't accept that advice because it wasn't at all clear that the Opposition had the numbers to govern."

Green predicts the Governor would ask Ms Palaszczuk to form government and test the numbers on the floor during the first sitting of Parliament.

So how could Labor still govern without the Premier breaking her promise?

If the Labor leader is intent on sticking by her word about no minority government, her only option is to resign as leader.

That would leave someone else in charge, but Labor would still hold power.
