Notes
- based on a roll of 13,202 at the 1930 election
- Also endorsed by Liberal Reform.
- based on an electoral roll of 7,028 at the 1907 election

gollark: COVID-19 was created by sapient bats attempting to manipulate mankind into becoming their slaves.
gollark: COVID-19 was created by inner city real estate companies to accelerate working from home trends enough that people would begin to resent them and their future profits would be secured.
gollark: COVID-19 was created by UV lamp companies to sell more UV lamps.
gollark: COVID-19 was created by an evil faction of emerging disease epidemiologists angry about not getting enough funding.
gollark: COVID-19 was created to buy time for cryptographers to be able to factor 2020 to determine whether it was a leap year; factoring large integers is nontrivial and they were unable to secure computing power for it due to increasing costs, so a distraction was necessary.
