The Greens vote

May 7, 2025

If you look at the raw numbers, the drop in the Greens vote was only marginal, although given the preferential system, it had an impact.

I suspect part of the reason for the drop in the Green vote was, based on pre-election polling, the perceived closeness of the contest between Labor and the LNP.

In such circumstances, it is not uncommon for voters to “play it safe” and opt for a major party. I suspect, given it is unlikely that Labor will lose the next election, there will be a surge in the Greens vote.
