2PPs

Last time IIRC the WAEC calculated a 2PP based solely on the Liberals (plus Liz Constable as Churchlands had no official Liberal candidate). Does anyone know if this will be the same this time? And if so can we get a footnote on the article to make it clear what is and isn't included in 2PP. Timrollpickering (talk) 14:37, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really want to tell people what to do, but your 'Current Pendulum' is not current. It is the 2008 results before the redistribution. Check ABC Elections, Poll Bludger or Tallyroom for correct pendulum, and if you want a reference try http://www.parliament.wa.gov.au/intranet/LibPages.nsf/webpages/Library%20Publications AntonyGreen (talk) 03:18, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Final 2PPs

Antony Green's blog has the final figures. There were ten seats where the final two weren't Liberal-Labor. In the eight ones that were Liberal-National the 2PP is Liberal-Labor. Alternate state totals are available depending on using Liberal-Labor and National-Labor for Pilbara.

Can someone savy with the templates add the best of these:

Liberal / National 678,231 57.29 +5.44 Labor 505,650 42.71 -5.44

Alternatively using Lib-ALP for Pilbara:

Liberal 677,231 57.21 Labor 506,623 42.79

Please include a footnote that explicitly states which parties the 2PP is for. Timrollpickering (talk) 14:31, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
