I don’t really pay much attention to politics these day’s though. It’s nice we have this third party in the senate now but the game has been fixed for a long time down here. For some reason we (have to) use this f~~~ed up preferential voting system which basically means who you vote for on the ballot paper may not ultimately be who you end up voting for. All the parties make back room deals so once its clear a particular party is not going to win all of the votes for them get transferred over to an allied party. If your say a liberal person and vote that way its very easy to ultimately end up voting for feminists or socialists or whatever with out even realising it. Keep in mind also that it is compulsory to vote in Australia and if you choose not to vote (one of the corner stones of free society if you ask me) you are hit with a large non contestable fine. Its a seriously f~~~ed up situation and I just can’t see anyway of fixing it, well not true I can but we will pretty much need to throw the whole thing out and start over.
