TASMANIAN HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY ELECTIONS - FRANKLIN 1959
FIG. 4-A. A FREE SELECTION OF CANDIDATES LEADS TO A FAIRER, MORE  PROPORTIONAL RESULT.
THIS GRAPH SHOWS THE ACTUAL RESULT UNDER EXISTING HARE-CLARK FEATURES:  
NAMELY, A 4-3 DIVISION OF SEATS (4 LIB, AND 3 ALP)		 Click here to compare to 4-B.
Quota = 4,014
CANDIDATES:- 
ALP 1 - BARNARD 
        2 - BROOKER 
         3 - DWYER 
       4 - NEILSON 
LIB.  1 - JACKSON 
         2 - MILLER 
         3 - PEARSALL 
        4 - YOUNG
(EACH COLUMN REPRESENTS THE NO. OF VOTES RECEIVED BY EACH CANDIDATE)
 
AS THE DLP CANDIDATE HAD THE LEAST NUMBER OF VOTES HE WAS EXCLUDED, AND HIS PREFERENCES, WHICH STRONGLY FAVOURED THE LIBERALS, ENABLED THEM (BY WINNING THE LAST SEAT NARROWLY) TO GAIN 4 SEATS TO LABOR'S 3).
