Democrats are finished
Apart from not holding any representation in the ACT, they are finished as a political force. They do not need their own heading, their significance is miniscule in this election. They are fine to be grouped under ind/other, per the current heading. Timeshift (talk) 10:41, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
And on top of this, Mulcahy should be above the Dems, as he is actually an MP. The Democrats have no representation, no polling to indicate a chance of winning a seat, not to mention they are dead in the water as a political force anywhere in Australia in terms of polling. Timeshift (talk) 11:16, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- No great disagreement there (in fact I think I put them quite a bit lower in my original draft; someone may have moved them later), but it's important to remember that they had an incumbent member going into the last election. Rebecca (talk) 11:25, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
It seems the fly-bys insist on adding the Democrats to their own section. They have no representation in the current ACT parliament with no polling indicating a comeback here or anywhere else in Australia. When the fly-bys insist on giving them their own section with weight and bias issues, what do we do? Timeshift (talk) 02:10, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
- The form of words used in these edits is very similar to those of a Democrats candidate's letter in the Canberra Times this week. If it's the same person they probably shouldn't be contributing to this article. In the interests of accuracy these edits should be reverted again, but it'll all be over by tomorrow night anyway. - Gimboid13 (talk) 05:21, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
- Either way i've again reverted. I won't be spending much time online at all from now until the election is over for unrelated reasons, so if people can keep an eye on it that would be good. Thanks. Timeshift (talk) 08:24, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Formatting
Why have the electorates been bolded under the parties contesting the election? Timeshift (talk) 10:49, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- Just as a way of distinguishing them, and not appearing too messy. If you've got a better solution, doesn't bother me at all. Rebecca (talk) 10:56, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Election table
I have added a summary table showing the interim results and likely outcome (based on ABC's predictions). As these numbers will inevitably change as postal and absentee votes are counted ober the next week or so, let's not start an edit war over them. Thin Arthur (talk) 07:48, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
