Nearly all the votes have been counted in Dickson and I performed a bit better than I expected actually. I managed to get 370 votes, up from 258 in 2007. That's a 0.2% swing to the Liberal Democrats. As long as we keep gaining more votes every election, soon enough the Liberal Democrats will be a formidable force in Australian politics.

Congrats, Bob - no doubt it has been a fascinating and enlightening experience for you!

Also hope you're not too much out of pocket!

Thanks! I didn't spend a whole lot of money on this campaign and I guess that's reflected in results. My fellow Liberal Democrat in the neighbouring electorate of Petrie put a lot of effort, and obviously money in and managed to get a 1.5% swing. So very well done to him. We also got 2.06% in the Queensland Senate, the 6th best performing party on the ballot. So that's good. I'm fairly happy with how the LDP performed overall.

Nah - so far just watching ABC24 and ABC Election site - and getting updates from others on here...

For obvious reasons, I hope that your sources are more reliable than mine, tho'!
