Now wait a minute, Lief's surplus (as well as Polnut's) is redistributed. The Senate I get is Lief, Polnut, Cris, Myself, and BK.

Ah, do we redistribute surplus here? I forgot which form of IRV Atlasia used. What proportion of total ballots does it take for a candidate to be elected?

[Number of Votes/(Number of Seats + 1)]+1

[Maxwell]

Here's the Senate as of my latest calculation -

Lief, Cris, Polnut, BK, and Myself - though JCL and I are pretty close to deadlocked.

I think quota is 12, but besides that, very interesting.

64 divided by 6, rounded down = 10; 10+1=11

Ah yes, forgot about that.

As of this moment, it looks like the two party behemoth may have returned, with Labor gaining two seats, Federalists gaining one, and TPP losing one, if these returns continue as they have.
