This video raises some interesting theories, but unfortunately it doesn’t have any data to back up the more controversial ones. I’m inclined to agree with it, but I’d rather see actual evidence to back that up, if it’s possible for that kind of evidence to be collected. Did the Greens’ strategy during the campaign and during the last term of Parliament lose them a significant amount of votes? It’s hard to say.

The summary being that the Greens were always going to lose seats as soon as the LNP slipped backward into 3rd place and got eliminated, giving votes to Labor, and that nothing the Greens could have done or not done would have changed that, is the most important piece of it, though.

I don’t think this is the whole picture, just saying 0.05% less may be hiding that they had a 10% swing against them by people who voted greens last time, but this time due to the massive historic swing left they picked up votes where they wouldn’t have before, so the swing looks more like

-10% people who voted greens last time +9.95% people moving to the greens as part of the move against the liberal party

Which means maybe next time as people swing back to the right greens will lose even more

So what should have been a labor style stomping resulted in not much
