Just make sure you put Labor ahead of the LNP and cooker parties since they will be objectively worse. But otherwise, agreed.
Though put the Greens ahead of Labor. Labor losing seats to the Greens, and having to depend on the Greens to govern, is a realistic possibility, and Greens MPs holding their feet to the fire could provide a counterbalance to the revolving door to corporate Australia.
Love to see it. Exploit preferential voting, have your say (personally greens, but anything other than abortion illegal will do)
I mean it's not really exploiting if that is exactly the reason why preferential voting exists. Or do I misunderstand something?
Nah, you got it.
What is a cooker party? Google is not helping.
afaik, 'cooker' has risen as a slang term for the wackier conspiracy theorists:
From Wiktionary:
Oh okay, I think I have in mind some politicians that fit into the description. Thanks!
eureka explained it well, but my slighter broader definition is:
Cooker parties means there can be independent parties with uh… fringe beliefs that you may not align with. So it’s good to do research on each party or candidate
Indies? I define "cooker" as the LNP and everyone to the right of them.
Yeah. It’s usually been the fringe parties that were most obvious but actually you do have a point
I cannot vote but as a recent arrival I'm in the process of getting the picture.
