The 2017 WA state election was a serious defeat for conservative parties in what has previously been one of their richest strongholds. Labor's electoral victory was the largest in WA history. Why was this success so great? This presentation, by two of the most credible analysts in WA, breaks down voting patterns and presents the findings of focus group and other qualitative research.
The presentation, co-hosted by WA Fabians, UnionsWA and the CPSU-CSA was held on Thursday 6 April 2017.
