Looks like the NCTCS Party is too good for Australia's political system. Serious parties should not be expected to work with political realities.

I think Green was partly correct it shouldn't have been "Foolish rank amateurism".

Palmer supporter are you hound? Or maybe you don't fancy the preferential system; maybe you like your politics neat like they have in communist nations?

Nothing like a fool to cry foolish.

Antony Green's latest of the WA Senate count.

Exactly Poirot; Democracy is messy and the cascade of preferences is meant to squeeze every last significance out of every vote.

No doubt it is a test for calculating where your preferences will go as one of Green's scenarios will mean a Green senator will get in which is not what the NCTCS would have wished for.

At this stage with another election in WA in the balance I can't think of a better alternative; you just have to do your calculations, make your agreements and hope for the best.

Being in WA, I'm fascinated by the by the prospect of being able to vote in the Federal election several months after it has actually taken place.

I wonder.....
