Note: The data controls for multi-ward elections by considering just the first-placed candidate for each party. The 1945 figure for the Liberal Party has been excluded owing to the very high seat-to-vote ratio: the party stood in three seats, winning one (2.6 per cent of the total) on a city-wide vote share of 0.9 per cent. This gives a seat-to-vote ratio of 2.9.
