Wipeout (elections)

Last updated April 20, 2024

An electoral wipeout occurs when a major party receives far fewer votes or seats in a legislature than their position justifies. It is the opposite of a landslide victory; the two frequently go hand in hand.

Australia

Federal elections

Between 1901 and 1949, the federal upper house, the Australian Senate, was elected by a system of majoritarian or "winner-take-all" voting. Each state had three of its six Senators retiring at each half-senate election. Each voter had three votes at each election, whether by first-past-the-post (FPTP) 1901–1918, or the alternative vote. It was often the case that the three seats all went the same way, leading to lopsided results in the six states such as 36–0 or 3–33.

In 1948, the Single Transferable Vote (STV) was introduced. At the same time, the number of senators per state was increased from 6 to 10, with 5 instead of 3 retiring at each triennial election.

Since the introduction of STV in the Senate, the parties have generally been evenly balanced, with minor parties and independents holding the balance of power.

In the 2004 election, the Howard government reached 57% of the senate vote in Queensland after the distribution of preferences under the then-used Group Ticket Voting system. It thereby obtained a majority in its own right in the senate from July 2005, when the new senators took up their seats. The number of quotas required to win a majority (four) of six seats, at 57% (four-sevenths of the votes), is so high because there are an even number of seats.

In the lower house, FPTP was changed to preferential voting in 1918.

State and territory elections

At the 1974 Queensland state election, using single-member electorates and full-preferential voting, the Labor opposition was reduced to a "cricket team" of eleven MPs, against the National Country Party/ Liberal Party Coalition government with 69 seats (and 2 independents). Labor recorded an even worse result in the 2012 Queensland state election when it lost office and was reduced to seven seats, with the Liberal National Party of Queensland winning 78, the Katter's Australian Party winning 2 and 2 independents.
At the 2016 Northern Territory general election, the one-term incumbent Country Liberal government, led by Adam Giles (who replaced Terry Mills), was defeated by the Labor opposition, led by Michael Gunner. The CLP lost all but two seats. Although it was outnumbered by independents (and later on by the new Territory Alliance party due to defections), the CLP remained the official opposition and regained several seats at the next election.
At the 2021 Western Australian state election, the WA Liberal opposition was reduced to only two seats against Labor's 53. This made them one of the only instances of one of the major parties having less seats than a third party (the Nationals received 4 seats in the election).^[1] This election had already been conceded by the Liberal leader Zak Kirkup before election day,^[2] but even Kirkup lost his seat, making him the first major party leader in 88 years in Western Australia to do so.^[3]

Barbados

In the 2018 Barbadian general election, the governing Democratic Labour Party was reduced from a majority of 16 seats to 0 seats, with the opposition (Barbados Labour Party) picking up all of the DLP's seats to have a 30–0 majority. Under first past the post, the DLP had received only 33,985 votes, out of 154,193, compared to the BLP's 111,968 votes.^[4] The DLP later on then failed to gain a single seat in the 2022 Barbadian general election leading to another BLP landslide of 30-0.

Canada

Canadian politics has seen electoral wipeouts at both provincial and federal level.

In the 2018 Ontario general election, the Ontario Liberal Party lost 48 seats, falling from 58 in 2014 to 7 seats.
In the 1993 Canadian federal election the governing Progressive Conservative Party, which had been in office for nearly a decade, was reduced from an overall majority of 156 seats to only two and suffered a 25% drop in their vote.
In the 2011 Canadian federal election, the Bloc Québécois was reduced from 47 to 4 seats.
In the 2001 British Columbia general election, the governing NDP was reduced from 37 to two seats, with the other 77 being won by the Liberals.
The 1987 New Brunswick general election saw the ruling Progressive Conservatives lose all 39 of their seats, with the Liberal Party winning every seat in the legislature.
In the 1987 Ontario general election, 42 years of Progressive Conservative rule ended as the party lost 36 of its 52 seats and fell to third place.
The 1935 Prince Edward Island general election resulted in the incumbent Conservatives lose all 18 of their seats to the Liberals, who won every seat in the legislature.
Saskatchewan has seen electoral wipeouts on four separate occasions: the 1934 election resulted in the incumbent Conservatives lose all of their seats; the 1944 election saw the governing Liberals reduced to 5 seats from 38; the 1982 election resulted in the incumbent NDP losing 35 of their 44 seats; and in 1991 the Conservatives were ousted with a 28-seat drop to 10 seats.

Fiji

At the 1999 Fijian general election, the incumbent Soqosoqo ni Vakavulewa ni Taukei (SVT) government, led by Sitiveni Rabuka, was defeated by the Labour opposition, led by Mahendra Chaudhry. Labour won 37 seats (an increase of 30), the Fijian Association Party (FAP) won 10, SVT won eight, the Party of National Unity (PANU) won four, the Christian Democratic Alliance (VLV) won three, the Nationalist Vanua Tako Lavo Party (NVTLP) won two the United General Party (UGP) won two and independents won five. The election resulted in Chaudhry became the country's first Indo-Fijian Prime Minister.

Germany

The use of an electoral threshold in German elections means that sometimes a major party can fail to win seats in the Bundestag or a state parliament, either because their vote share falls below 5% or because the number of directly-elected seats drops below 3. Post-war examples include:

1957 West German federal election: The All-German Bloc/League of Expellees and Deprived of Rights lost all 27 seats.
2002 German federal election: The Party of Democratic Socialism went from 36 seats to just 2 (both directly-elected).
2013 German federal election: The Free Democratic Party lost all 93 seats.

India

National level

2014 Indian general election: Then-ruling Indian National Congress suffered a decline of 9.24% in vote share.The party slumped to an all-time low of 44 seats from the previous tally of 206 (out of total 543 seats of Lok Sabha) and was thus removed from power.

State level

2011 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election: Communist Party of India (Marxist) had been winning elections continuously since 1977. However in 2011, it faced a catastrophic loss of 136 seats and was reduced to 40 seats in the Vidhan Sabha(total 294 seats). The party was thus ousted from power.

Malaysia

In the 1990 Kelantan state election, the ruling Barisan Nasional state government went from 29 to 0 seats out of 39 in the Kelantan State Legislative Assembly and were ousted from power, thus made Malaysian Islamic Party became the state government continuously since then.
In the 1999 Terengganu state election, the ruling Barisan Nasional state government went from 25 to 4 seats out of 32 in the Terengganu State Legislative Assembly and were ousted from power.
In the 2004 Terengganu state election, the ruling Malaysian Islamic Party state government went down from 28 to 4 out of 32 and were ousted from power.

In the 2022 Perak state election, Barisan Nasional was wiped out of most state seats in Northern Perak, losing most of its seats to Perikatan Nasional.

New Zealand

Until it moved to a proportional representation system in 1996, general elections in New Zealand were also prone to the possibility of wipeouts, though these in general involved the likelihood of third parties getting few or no seats rather than one of the two major parties being massively underrepresented. This former circumstance occurred most starkly in the 1981 general election, in which the Social Credit Party gained 20.6% of the vote yet gained only two seats in the 92-seat parliament.

The 1935 general election did, however, see a major party wipeout, and led to the creation of a new major party. In the 1935 election, the Labour Party gained 46.1% of the vote to the United/Reform Coalition's 32.9%, but won 53 seats to the United/Reform's 19. As a result of this election the two coalition parties merged to form the National Party, which remains a major force in current New Zealand politics.

Philippines

In the Philippines, the House of Representatives (and its predecessors) are, for the most part, elected under first-past-the-post (FPTP) system; in 1998, parallel voting was instituted, where 20% of the seats are contested in a party-list system, with the 80% of the seats still being elected via FPTP. The Senate since 1941 has been elected under multiple non-transferable vote. From 1941 to 1951, voters can vote under general ticket, which can lead to wipeouts for any party that wins the election. In 1978, this was also the electoral system for the Interim Batasang Pambansa (parliament).

1938 Philippine legislative election: The Nacionalista Party won all 98 seats in the National Assembly.
1941 Philippine legislative election: Starting in 1941 and up to the 1971 elections, Congress was bicameral.
- 1941 Philippine Senate election: The Nacionalista Party won all 24 seats in the Senate.
- 1941 Philippine House of Representatives election: The Nacionalistas won 95 of 98 seats in the House of Representatives. The 3 other seats were won by independents.

1955 Philippine Senate election: The Nacionalista Party won all 9 (8 seats in the general election and 1 seat in a special election held concurrently) seats disputed. The Liberal Party were wiped out in the Senate.

2019 Philippine Senate election: The Hugpong ng Pagbabago won 9 seats disputed in the election. The other 3 seats were won by other parties. The primary opposition, Otso Diretso, were wiped out.

Poland

The chaotic emergence of a democratic political scene following the fall of communism and the often-changing electoral system caused many wipeouts in Polish electoral history:

In the 1993 Polish parliamentary election, Centre Agreement, Liberal Democratic Congress, Peasants' Agreement, Solidarity, Polish Beer-Lovers' Party, Real Politics Union and Party X, which held a total of 158 seats, all failed to pass the newly introduced 5% electoral threshold, losing all seats.

In the April 2019 Spanish general election, the People's Party went from holding 127 of the 208 directly elected senate seats to just 54, falling from a comfortable overall majority of 61% of seats to holding just over 27% of the total, despite the fact that the Spanish electoral system for the Senate all but guarantees at least one seat for the runner-up party in 47 of the 50 provinces. Meanwhile, in the Congress of Deputies, the PP lost all their seats in the Basque Country (down from 2) and were reduced to a single one in Catalonia (down from 5).

Scottish elections

The Scottish Parliament elections use a version of the additional member system, meaning that 73 seats are won through First Past the Post constituency votes, and additional seats are added for the regional vote which uses a variation of the D'Hondt method.

In the 2007 Scottish Parliament election, the Socialists lost all of their six seats, with their share of the vote reduced by over 6%.
In the 2011 Scottish Parliament election, Labour lost twenty constituency seats (seven overall), with the Liberal Democrats losing nine (twelve overall). The Lib Dems were left with only two constituency seats, suffering a complete wipeout on the Scottish mainland, leaving only Shetland and Orkney (two of the safest seats in the country) with Lib Dem MSPs.

A safe seat is an electoral district (constituency) in a legislative body which is regarded as fully secure, for either a certain political party, or the incumbent representative personally or a combination of both. With such seats, there is very little chance of a seat changing hands because of the political leanings of the electorate in the constituency concerned or the popularity of the incumbent member. The opposite type of seat is a marginal seat. The phrase "tantamount to election" is often used to describe winning the dominant party's nomination for a safe seat.
