How did the rise of teal independents and changes in voter preferences contribute to the shift in Sydney's electoral map?

The shift in Sydney's electoral landscape reflects a broader trend of declining support for the Liberal Party, particularly in urban areas. The rise of teal independents, who secured several seats, played a crucial role in this outcome. The Coalition's primary vote in NSW slumped by 5 percentage points to 31 percent, while Labor's two-party preferred vote increased by 4 points to 56 percent.
