In Australian politics,the two-party-preferred vote is the result of an election or opinion poll after preferences have been distributed to the highest two candidates,who in some cases can be independents. For the purposes of TPP,the Liberal/National Coalition is usually considered a single party,with Labor being the other major party. Typically the TPP is expressed as the percentages of votes attracted by each of the two major parties,e.g. "Coalition 50%,Labor 50%",where the values include both primary votes and preferences. The TPP is an indicator of how much swing has been attained/is required to change the result,taking into consideration preferences,which may have a significant effect on the result.
