The graph shows that, under the present single-vacancy Province system, the Liberals, with 63.6% of seats, gained well over 50% of seats (an absolute majority) even though the voters gave them only 43.5% of first preference votes - well short of 50%.
With Hare-Clark the Liberal MLCs would have
had to join with the National MLCs to form a majority of the MLCs elected
in 1992, as the votes of just enough Victorians (52.2%) indicated was wanted,
but the notoriously distorting system prevented them from achieving.
