Infobox candidates prior to election
@
Glennstapo Generally it is standard practice in by-election articles to only have the candidates recognised by the press that will make the 2CP in the infobox prior to the conduct of the election. Ultimately I do not care enough to revert your inclusion of the Federation Party candidate again, at least partially because I agree with you that all the nominated candidates should really be in the infobox. If you would like it there could you fix up the colours and alignment please.

From what you posted in my talk page it appears you haven't seen that all three candidates are already listed under the "Candidates" section of the article.

I will have to remove one of the colours on our main party page as it has 2 colours, so the auto colour does not add.
I will do that and then try to fix the alignment ASAP.
I believe it was the colour generally associated with Dennis Patterson's 2010 campaign in Shepparton when the party was still the Country Alliance, although I could be wrong. There is an argument to change the colour now given the party has changed, you could do that on the talk page
Template talk:Australian party style. I would strongly suggest initiating a discussion in the talk page and reaching consensus before making a change to the template, I suspect some editors would want to keep the old colour for the old party.
