FTR, the absolute majority figure is 122.
Malaysia is in for interesting times, methinks.
No, I just accidentally wrote 122 instead of 112.I'm not sure what you mean by this. 222 seats in the chamber. 112 is a simple 50%+1, 133 is a 60% majority, and 145 is a 66%+ majority, which is what is needed for constitutional changes. I'm not sure what you meant by picking a 55% number. Maybe there is something I am missing.
You've definitely marked some seats in K-L as gains when they weren't.
There were two BN's and one Indie in South KL pre-election. Post-election, the city is all PH except the indie in Batu who was always technically a PH. Now those two seats didn't have the BN's standing in them this election - they tried to run in the new gerrymandered city seats for them. I think the problem stems from which two seats correspond to the old BN seats under the new lines.
Looking into it, the two seats the BN had are relatively unchanged compared to pre-election and they're up in the NE not the SE.
2016 Election among Whites who hold 4-Year College Degrees:
Clinton won the popular vote among this group 46.4% to 46.2%. The electoral college would also have narrowly gone for her 283 to 255
Couple Maps of the election from today:
You see that quite a lot with Greens, for whatever reason.Curiously enough, Fajardo, a center-left candidate, got more votes in traditionally conservative regions.
I actually believe Montana will go blue in the future, a lot of young coastal Liberals are moving there. The same thing happened to Oregon and Vermont.Wow, I can't believe that Montana would have went blue in 2016 if you only counted the white college educated voters, by what margin would she have won the state?
It's probably the "turquoise tendency", lots of people who like the countryside and wants it preserved, not really aware of the Greens beyond "they like trees" so they vote for them.Curiously enough, Fajardo, a center-left candidate, got more votes in traditionally conservative regions.
