    Wrong Zonetrader because everyone knows that the 2pp is the determinant in a seat by seat basis not the primary vote.In any event the facts are the factsThe coalition has more primary votes than Labor on its own but when greens votes etc are taken into account the picture changes. If Labor and Greens were a formal coalition their combined primary votes would outnumber the coalitions by far. However the 2pp is fairer because it allocates some greens votes to Labor and some to the coalition according to the voters preference.

    What is clearly wrong on the coalition side is that some of its senior politicians and some of its supporters on HC claimed that the coalition had won the 2pp when it had not. Look at forros top post he/she said it in block print.
