Maggie Perry @maggieperry.bsky.social · 08/03/2025The short answer is yes. Even if the Libs fall short of government, it's important that they have a good starting point for the next state election in 2029. Sometimes, even if you have momentum, it can be hard to overcome the government when they have a huge majority. 9/23 🧵 110 0
Maggie Perry @maggieperry.bsky.social · 08/03/2025So, if the Liberals and the Nationals can reach a respectable seat total, at the very least 20 of the lower house seats, they have a good launching pad for the state election in 2029... But, what about the crossbench? 10/23 🧵 110 0
Maggie Perry @maggieperry.bsky.social · 08/03/2025If the Greens win anywhere, it will be Fremantle. They won this seat at a by-election in 2009 (before losing it in the next election) and have been trying to win it ever since - Coming 2nd in 2021. (Remember that the Labor vote is severely inflated!) 11/23 🧵 100 0
