More chance of Port Power winning the 2026 premiership than that happening ;)

Ok, I’ll admit I totally misread the support for ON
Actually scary how much primary vote they have received

Still very early, but at this stage the polling before the election is spot on. Libs may only end up with 3-4 seats, Labor gaining up to 10 seats, independents get the rest with ON most likely missing out on a HA seat, but in the hunt for a small number.

David Speirs is outpolling the Liberals on some booths (there's a big variance in his vote across the electorate) but is way behind Labor. It was always going to be hard to see him knocking Labor off.

Libs didn’t even try in Black received no election paraphernalia just one from the ALP.

The result is no surprise.

Libs tried to save seats in Adelaide which in all likelihood is going to fail.

Morphett, Unley, Morialta, Colton and Hartley all look like going Red.

Metro Adelaide will all be ALP held apart from Bragg

According to C9, ON has 3 seats and could get another 1 or 2

Yep, I just can’t see how they are getting it so wrong.
I don’t think C9 understands that Labor and Libs are sending their preferences to each other mostly and not ON

I wouldn't expect Liberal flows to ALP v ON to be that high, or even over 50% - but until we get those ALP-ON 2CP counts we can only guess. I think the issue you've identified explains the discrepancies.

Good result if you like sporting events
What will he get next?

Not so good result if you want an ambo or hospital bed or struggling with cost of living
Not to mention the State Debt
