Talk:2006 Tasmanian state election

message: I have added a section on each parties campaigns and pledges. I think it's important to write about what the political parties campaigned for before the election, as a sort of historical record. The information I have put in I tried to keep very neutral, although that is sometimes extremely hard so please edit things that appear to have a point of view. I have tried to reference as much as possible. Some information in the top of the article could be merged into each political parties section, perhaps new sections could be added for events that occured in the lead up to the election (such as the debate, brethren society issues etc.). These are just my ideas anyway. Kyle sb 09:10, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: How did you decide what to put in the 'pledges' section for each party?  They seem quite selective and I don't think they are representative of the key policy pledges. -- Barrylb 11:21, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

text: Oh just pledges I could remember, still i think some of the policies could be included such as the greens policy to reduce the voting age. Kyle sb 11:41, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I was hoping by adding a few people would add to them. Oh and the liberals promised cut of Land tax should be included somewhere? Kyle sb 11:42, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: discussion of the article

message: I hate to say but I think your over deleting information here. Different policies in elections appeal to different people and we should include a variety of policies from all the parties. The Greens' announced they planned to reduce the voting age, for some this could be a major issue, others wouldn't care. It's okay to clean up information and I admit posting some stuff that was useless, but you shouldn't just delete everything. Kyle sb 12:46, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If you are going to mention the voting age plan, you need to mention others also. Just mentioning that policy gives it too much prominance.  -- Barrylb 13:12, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

text: Fair enough, today you and I have voted, the election will be decided soon. It is important, that when people read this encyclopedia article, which will be detailing a past election. They get a chance to see some of the issues the parties put forward. Because by now what we write won't influence peoples votes, then details about what the parties proposed should be added into the election campaigns. If I add some campaign pledges, those I can remember, you can add more and other users that know some can. We should use the words 'among the PARTIES policies put forward for this election include: ' to make sure these aren't given prominance. So if it is alright with you I will add some of Labors, Liberals and the Greens policies that I can remember back into the article. Kyle sb 06:37, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: We must establish the methodology for what policies to mention; we cannot add them all because each party has an enormous number; I think we should choose a certain number from ones that the parties themselves have highlighted. Just adding whatever you remember or whatever is in media reports could get messy and will not result in a balanced article. I think it would be good to look at materials produced by each party (eg in adverts, websites, flyers) to see what each party has focussed on. -- Barrylb 11:59, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Constant Deleting

message: I have updated the article to remove early speculation (as it turns out quite exaggerated) about the "demise of The Greens".  There was a lot of media speculation on this which was reflected in this article.  If they retain all 4 seats, as appears likely, then the only significant negative will be a 1.9% decrease in their primary vote (which is lower than the ALP's decrease).

thread_title:  Demise of the Greens - not 

message: Would it be worth adding a section on the early polls as in the South Australian legislative election, 2006 article?  I have a number of old newspapers at home, and I suppose could look through the website to put 2/3 polls in this article of predicted results before the election. Well I won't do it unless the other people interested in this article agree...  Kyle sb 08:41, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I would like that included. -- Barrylb 08:47, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
