Swing calculations
[edit]As this was a first-past-the-post election, the usual Australian swing calculations don't work. Instead I have used the UK Butler method, being the average of the winning party percentage-point gain and the losing party percentage-point loss. I have used NA where one of the parties did not contest both elections. Eg Ashburnum 1907 Labor gain (53.7-31.4) = +22.3, Liberal reform "loss" (35.4-46.3) = -10.9 therefore Swing (22.3 - 10.9) / 2 = +5.7.
1904 | 1907 | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Party | Candidate | Votes | % | Candidate | Votes | % | ± | |
Labor | Patrick Clara | 1,626 | 35.4 | John Lynch | 2,972 | 53.7 | +22.3 | |
Liberal Reform | Eden George | 1,832 | 35.4 | Eden George | 2,560 | 46.3 | +10.9 | |
Independent | Joseph Reymond | 1,721 | 33.2 |
Let me know if you disagree with my calculations or the method used. --Find bruce (talk) 03:15, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- Those calculations look fine to me and make sense. Kirsdarke01 (talk) 05:24, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
