Australian politics by Pony

 

Ok for you americans that jump to emotional conclusions, we have a prefernce system here with our elections.

a voter can vote for a party and then have a 2nd , 3rd, 4th etc prefetence vote for other parties.

our major (left) party called Labor has a deal.with the ultra loony toon cray cray party called the greens.

any greems voter is instructed on their vote sheet to vote for greens 1 then Labor 2. The major right party ( Liberal) is then placed last on the orefefence numbering.

Whereas the major right party (Liberal) has struggled over the elections with preference alliances as our ultra right parties are as loony as bat shit too.

for this upcoming election i would like Liberal to get preference alliances with the ultra right parties.

this is for 2 reasons:

1) my preferred party wins
2) the more seats my preferred party wins, the better chance we gain a majority. If there us a majority government, the ruling party (whether left or right) is not beholden to the whims of rhe minor parties.

this does not mean i support ultra right in any way whatsoever. They are merely a tool to secure a win.

thank you.

I thought it was very informative because I dont know shit about Australian politics. 

I do understand their parliamentary system... I think all the commonwealth nations have similar governments. 

I dont comment on their government because we have enough problems in this country.

I would suggest that all Australians become as smart as Pony 

But I am also aware that you cant fix stupid. 

 We Americans have our own way of fixing things and sometimes it gets really messy. 

Its a cultural thing that many foreigners dont understand
