href="/wiki/Two-party-preferred" class="mw-redirect" title="Two-party-preferred">two-party-preferred</a> basis. The Coalition won the largest government in New South Wales history in a huge landslide, while Labor suffered the largest swing against a sitting government anywhere in Australia (and on any level) since <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>, as well as one of the worst defeats of a state government since <a href="/wiki/Federation_of_Australia" title="Federation of Australia">Federation</a>. This led to 12 consecutive years of Coalition government in New South Wales (the longest Coalition government and the third-longest state government overall in New South Wales history), until the Coalition was narrowly defeated in <a href="/wiki/2023_New_South_Wales_state_election" title="2023 New South Wales state election">2023</a>. </p><p>The Liberals alone won more first preference votes than Labor (usually it takes both Coalition parties, the Liberals and the Nationals, to have a higher first preference vote than Labor). </p><p>Labor only had two <a href="/wiki/Safe_seat" title="Safe seat">safe seats</a> after the defeat, both of which were in <a href="/wiki/Western_Sydney" class="mw-redirect" title="Western Sydney">Western Sydney</a>. The seats were <a href="/wiki/Electoral_district_of_Bankstown" title="Electoral district of Bankstown">Bankstown</a> (on a 10.3% margin) and <a href="/wiki/Electoral_district_of_Liverpool" title="Electoral district of Liverpool">Liverpool</a> (on a 14.7% margin). Labor only held five seats outside of <a href="/wiki/Sydney" title="Sydney">Sydney</a> (<a href="/wiki/Electoral_district_of_Cessnock" title="Electoral district of Cessnock">Cessnock</a>, <a href="/wiki/Electoral_district_of_Keira" title="Electoral district of Keira">Keira</a>, <a href="/wiki/Electoral_district_of_Shellharbour" title="Electoral district of Shellharbour">Shellharbour</a>, <a href="/wiki/Electoral_district_of_Wallsend" title="Electoral district of Wallsend">Wallsend</a> and <a href="/wiki/Electoral_district_of_Wollongong" title="Electoral district of Wollongong">Wollongong</a>). </p><p>Ultimately, the Liberals won 27 seats from Labor (Blue Mountains, Camden, Campbelltown, Charlestown, Coogee, Drummoyne, East Hills, Gosford, Granville, Heathcote, Kiama, Londonderry, Maitland, Menai, Miranda, Mulgoa, Newcastle, Oatley, Parramatta, Riverstone, Rockdale, Smithdale, Strathfield, Swansea, The Entrance, Wollondilly and Wyong) while the Nationals won two seats from Labor (Bathurst and Monaro). The Nationals gained three seats from independents (Dubbo, Port Macquarie and Tamworth), which were Nationals seats held by personally popular independents. It is likely that Port Macquarie and Tamworth were regained by the Nationals easily due to a move by two independents in the federal seats of <a href="/wiki/Division_of_Lyne" title="Division of Lyne">Lyne</a> (<a href="/wiki/Rob_Oakeshott" title="Rob Oakeshott">Rob Oakeshott</a>) and <a href="/wiki/Division_of_New_England" title="Division of New England">New England</a> (<a href="/wiki/Tony_Windsor" title="Tony Windsor">Tony Windsor</a>), which partially overlap with the respective state seats, which angered the locals, who are mostly liberal conservatives in some of the most safely-held Coalition seats in the country. The move that supposedly caused this was the decision of these two independents to support <a href="/wiki/Julia_Gillard" title="Julia Gillard">Julia Gillard</a>, who formed a Labor <a href="/wiki/Minority_government" title="Minority government">minority government</a>, over the Coalition under <a href="/wiki/Tony_Abbott" title="Tony Abbott">Tony Abbott</a> (although Oakeshott stated that he would have supported the Coalition if <a href="/wiki/Malcolm_Turnbull" title="Malcolm Turnbull">Malcolm Turnbull</a> was their leader instead of Abbott). Oakeshott and Windsor were personally popular in these seats (with Oakeshott even being an ex-National), but on traditional two-party-preferred contests, the Nationals were well ahead of Labor. The member for Port Macquarie, <a href="/wiki/Peter_Besseling" title="Peter Besseling">Peter Besseling</a>, was friends with Oakeshott and previously worked as his advisor, thus angering Port Macquarie locals. Independents held just three seats after the election: <a href="/wiki/Electoral_district_of_Lake_Macquarie" title="Electoral district of Lake Macquarie">Lake Macquarie</a>, <a href="/wiki/Electoral_district_of_Northern_Tablelands" title="Electoral district of Northern Tablelands">Northern Tablelands</a> and <a href="/wiki/Electoral_district_of_Sydney" title="Electoral
