Mackerras forecast assists poll watchers in coming Australian election
Malcolm Mackerras has produced a new book that promises to be essential for poll-watchers ahead of the next Australian federal vote. It assembles data from recent elections, offers pre election predictions, and presents an electoral pendulum model showing how swings translate to Labor versus Liberal (or Country) outcomes. The work stresses state factors, candidate quality, and shifting electorates while noting a roughly fifty percent chance of Labor winning but avoiding hard certainty.
