More than half of the One Nation MPs elected to state or federal parliaments have left the party before the end of their term, with 28 of the 51 people elected under Pauline Hanson’s banner either resigning midterm or being expelled.

But Guardian Australia analysis of the party’s colourful candidate history shows the party has a history of chaos and instability.
