WA redistribution – margins published

3

It’s taken some time as I’ve waited for some necessary data, but I’ve now compiled my own margin estimates for the 59 state electorates in Western Australia following the recent redistribution.

I won’t lay claim to originality: both William Bowe and Antony Green have previously published their own estimates. Mine are very similar with a few exceptions where my figures differ from one or both of them. I’m not saying mine are necessary better than others but I thought I should publish them as they will be used as the basis for my maps and tables at the time of the election.

The table of margins is below the fold, along with a map.

  1. Darling Range also changed due to the by-election. Alyssa Hayden should be pretty safe there.

    There’s a few retirements as well, if you’re keeping track. Ben Wyatt (ALP, Vic Park), Peter Watson (ALP, Albany), Mick Murray (ALP, Collie-Preston), Mike Nahan (Lib, Riverton), and Robin Chapple (Green, Mining and Pastoral). Vic Park and Riverton are safe enough, but the other three will be interesting – those MP’s are taking big personal votes with them, particularly Peter Watson.

  2. Peter Watson is very popular…… but do people in a country seat vote for a say in government. The margin in Collie- preston is big so labor should keep the seat.
