Two micro-parties wanting to legalise marijuana and adopt daylight saving now have a voice on the crossbench of Western Australia's Upper House, despite receiving just a fraction of the primary vote.
Key points:
They received 2 and 0.2 per cent of the primary vote, respectively
ABC election analyst Antony Green called the system 'ridiculous'
The Legalise Marijuana WA Party's Sophia Moermond has secured a seat in the Legislative Council's South West region from 2 per cent of votes.
Meanwhile, the Daylight Saving Party's Wilson Tucker has been elected in the Mining and Pastoral Region after starting the count with just 98 votes, or 0.2 per cent.
