Crystal ball (just for fun) Proof of concept
The crystal ball has fogged up! Last time's majority was only 0.6%, which is too close to call.
How it works: the pick is the party holding the seat at dissolution. How sure the ball feels depends only on the size of the 2021 majority: 40% or more is comfortable, 20% or more is leaning, 10% or more is tight, and anything smaller is too close to call. The same rule is used for every seat and every party. It ignores the candidates, the campaign, swings, boundary changes and everything else that really decides an election.
Just for fun. This is not a forecast, a poll or advice, and it does not come from the Election Commission or any party. Please do not use it to decide how to vote.
