Just noting I'm in the process of fixing this up at the moment, just so no one else embarks on the same task. :) Frickeg (talk) 23:22, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Independent" Flux candidates

Interesting article in The West Australian: apparently Flux the System! has confirmed that 26 independent candidates for the Legislative Council are actually Flux members or supporters who will be funnelling preferences to the party as an electoral strategy. --Canley (talk) 12:30, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Very interesting! Could be worth a note in a section down the bottom - we need one anyway to note the withdrawn/disendorsed One Nation candidates. Druery is full of crap as usual, since the Liberal Democrats have done this before when he was advising them - and of course it's essentially the strategy he pioneered at the NSW 1999 election.
