Smartvote analysis revealed that not only were Alistair Coe's positions on social issues not shared by a majority of ACT voters, they were not shared by the Canberra Liberals' base either. #ACTvotes

Their chat with @markgkenny & @MarijaTaflaga about the Bushfire Royal Commission & evidence-based policy will be out later today - stay tuned!
ABC have just mentioned that there are no actual preferences coming through for any seats after Mulgrave in the alphabet so all the rest will be estimates until that's corrected.
Scratch that! @ElectionsACT has now declared a final result:
The Greens' @jdaviscbr was elected in Brindabella and the @CanberraLibs' Peter Cain was elected in Ginninderra.

#ACTvotes2020 is over
#ACTVotes result declared. Labor 10, Liberal 9, Greens 6. Green's Johnathan Davis wins last seat in Brindabella, Liberal Peter Cain defeats Gordon Ramsay in Ginninderra, and Green Rebecca Vassarotti defeats Liberal Candice Burch in Kurrajong.
The Greens have won 24% of the seats off 13.5% of the vote. They were lucky but it is also worth remembering we have a preferential system and a lot of their supporters voted 1 for micro-parties, concealing the size of the swing in their favour. #actvotes
Latest on #ACTvotes from @AntonyGreenABC...
1. Ginnindera - Liberals Peter Cain to defeat @Gordon_R_Ramsay
