Elections where the winning party lost the popular vote.

This has happened a few times in Australian states. The last two SA elections Labor eked out wins despite losing the two party vote. And of course, there is the infamous history of Queensland as essentially a quasi-democratic fiefdom of John Bjelke Peterson.

Along with that, Playfair lost the two party vote like five times in his run as Premier, but still won due to malappointment between rural and urban areas.
