Why do you say the tags are inappropriate? There is only one source, meaning there needs to be more of them for the sake of accuracy, and footnotes are needed to show that the references actually verify the material. Compassionate727 (talk) 18:54, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is an election results page, meaning it refers to a specific, undisputed and unchangeable set of data, to which there is an official record to which it can be cited. It is correctly cited to the most authoritative compilation of these results, put together by one of the country's foremost academics in this area in conjunction with the Parliamentary Library. It is horribly counterintuitive to insist that people add less reliable sources for no purpose beyond allowing some dude running around with a bot to tick an extra box.
