So, what happens if a party wins more seats than it has candidates? If this poll were the real election, the Whigs would be entitled to two seats, but have only one person on their list (Clarence).

Per the Elections Act:

Quote
Should a list be allocated a seat but lacks an additional candidate to fill it, that allocation will be nullified and offered instead to the list next in line according to the electoral method.

Socialist: 5
Con: 5
SocLib: 5
Whig: 3
Pioneer: 2
Country: 1

With the extra Whig seat going to one of the top three parties.

These results (unlikely, IMO - Workers Party turnout would likely allot them at least an extra seat) would make coalition formation a lot more interesting - either a one-seat majority or a multi-party coalition would be required.

I invite more members to join the Whig Party to fill our potential seats......

Or you could have a minority coalition government with supply and confidence from another party!

I always like minority coalitions - talk about governing on the edge! ;D

I'm getting Con, SL, Soc at 6 each, Whig at 2, Pioneers at 1

Which gives us a Parliament of Potus, Simfan, Oakvale, rpryor03, Dereich, Cassius, Crabcake, Al, PJ, Xahar, Murica, Hifly, Talley, SJoyce, Barnes, Blair, Vega, Baconbacon, Clarence, Winfield, and Sanchez.
