The election was largely important as it would demonstrate which of the parties (if any) could hold together a stable government after the unstable second term of the previous one, which saw four different governments in power. It would also see if all parties could survive the implementation of <a href="/wiki/Protectionist" class="mw-redirect" title="Protectionist">protectionist</a> policies which differentiated the two. This was also the first election where all seats for the House of Representatives were voted for via a <a href="/wiki/First-past-the-post" class="mw-redirect" title="First-past-the-post">First-past-the-post</a> system (at previous elections some states voted as one electorate, using a <a href="/wiki/Plurality-at-large_voting" class="mw-redirect" title="Plurality-at-large voting">bloc vote</a>), and the first time that Tasmania was divided into separate electorates. The election result was the continuation of a Protectionist government led by Deakin and supported by Labour, which remained in power largely due to the unwillingness of the Anti-Socialist Party to support a <a href="/wiki/Vote_of_no_confidence" class="mw-redirect" title="Vote of no confidence">vote of no confidence</a> against it. </p><p><a href="/wiki/George_Reid" title="George Reid">George Reid</a> adopted a strategy of trying to reorient the party system along <a href="/wiki/Australian_Labor_Party" title="Australian Labor Party">Labour</a> vs non-Labour lines – before the election, he renamed his <a href="/wiki/Free_Trade_Party" title="Free Trade Party">Free Trade Party</a> to the Anti-Socialist Party. Reid envisaged a spectrum running from socialist to anti-socialist, with the <a href="/wiki/Protectionist_Party" title="Protectionist Party">Protectionist Party</a> in the middle. This attempt struck a chord with politicians who were steeped in the <a href="/wiki/Westminster_system" title="Westminster system">Westminster tradition</a> and regarded a <a href="/wiki/Two-party_system" title="Two-party system">two-party system</a> as very much the norm.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Since the Protectionist primary platform of government tariffs had been dealt with by previous governments, the party had become somewhat redundant. Those who remained were largely supporting the Party's leader, <a href="/wiki/Alfred_Deakin" title="Alfred Deakin">Alfred Deakin</a>, rather than its policies. Of the three, the Labour Party, led by <a href="/wiki/Chris_Watson" title="Chris Watson">Chris Watson</a>, now had the most realistic chance of becoming the dominant party after their gains in the <a href="/wiki/1903_Australian_federal_election" title="1903 Australian federal election">1903 election</a> and after their leading status in the four minor states they were looking to make the same type of gains in <a href="/wiki/Victoria,_Australia" class="mw-redirect" title="Victoria, Australia">Victoria</a> and <a href="/wiki/New_South_Wales" title="New South Wales">New South Wales</a>. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/1906_Australian_referendum" class="mw-redirect" title="1906 Australian referendum">first federal referendum</a> in Australia's history was held in conjunction with the election.
