One stop shop WA Pendulum [draft version, holes to be gradually filled, and emailed notice of errors and bad links welcome]

The 2001 West Australian election result was somewhat aberrational in that One Nation ran in most seats, got lots of votes and directed preferences away from sitting members. You could say this distorted the results.

The pendulum at left has the usual parts - two party preferred margins and seat names. Next to the seat name, in brackets, is the region (abbreviated). The extra numbers are new: on the outside of each seat is the 2001 two party preferred swing in brackets, the margin (underlined with an asterisk on each side), the primary vote swing (to Labor) and ALP and One Nation primary votes (post-redistribution).

See, for example, Albany, held by Labor by 3.7%. It was won with a huge 15.6 percent 2pp swing, although the ALP's primary vote actually went backwards - by 2.2% - to 31.6. One Nation got a whopping 16.2 percent. So Albany was largely a One Nation-induced win, and we could imagine it easily going back to the Coalition.

All independent-held seats except one have been placed on the Coalition side.
