With the federal election guide now complete, I decided to check in on which seats have been attracting the most comments. Comment sections are now open for all 159 federal contests, and some of these pages have been quite active.
These are the seats with the most comments. There’s some obvious marginal seats but also a few surprises.
| Seat | Comments |
| Hume | 49 |
| Ryan | 44 |
| Macnamara | 39 |
| Lindsay | 38 |
| Cooper | 36 |
| Cook | 33 |
| Brisbane | 28 |
| Higgins | 27 |
| Lilley | 23 |
| Reid | 22 |
| Casey | 20 |
| Herbert | 20 |
| Hughes | 20 |
| Stirling | 19 |
| Deakin | 15 |
| Isaacs | 15 |
| New England | 15 |
| QLD Senate | 15 |
Overall (as of Saturday evening) 1153 comments had been posted on 140 different guides, with nineteen races yet to attract a comment.
If there’s a seat that interests you, please join in!
Surely there’s a bit of a bias towards seats that have been posted earlier?
I wonder what the correct normalisation approach would be. I suggest “total comments posted on the site after that seat guide went up”.
