Labor's win represents an electoral evisceration for the SA Liberals. In some respects, the night could not have gone worse for Steven Marshall's party. Labor has gained five seats, including the four marginals that had been tipped to potentially change hands: Adelaide, Elder, King and Newland. The big surprise was Davenport, held by Liberal MP Steve Murray, which has been gained by Labor candidate Erin Thompson.
The ABC is projecting Labor will win 26 seats and the Liberals 16, with five independents. That would represent the Liberals' worst return since the 2006 so-called Rann-slide, when they won only 15.
In terms of state-wide trends, Labor picked up a 5.6 per cent swing on the two-party preferred vote.

Actually a significant increase from the last SA state election in 2018, when they only got 6.7%. That can largely be accounted for by the disappearance of Nick Xenophon's SA Best party, which scooped up a lot of their (as well as Labor's) vote. Still, even in previous elections at times when the Greens were doing relatively well federally (2010 and 2014), they only managed 8.1% and 8.7%, and SA has always been one of their weaker states. So this is a pretty encouraging result for them.#26 wrote:I see the Greens got 9.8% of the vote, which is around the 10% they usually poll federally. So not really going up or down.

True. Up on their last state election result, to the number they usually get at the federal level. I didn't articulate that very well.David wrote:Actually a significant increase from the last SA state election in 2018, when they only got 6.7%.

Poor choice of wording, I was agreeing with you.#26 wrote:No? What are you saying no to?stui magpie wrote:^
No, they seem to have plateaued where Independents are gaining steadily as recipients of votes from people disenfranchised by the major parties.
