The point about Family First is well made. God (no pun) knows if ALP voters in Victoria realised (and the Democrats behind them) that their preferences would be allocated to FF.
I also have a strange suspicion that some voters in the recent Victorian election may have thought they were voting Democrat but instead voted DLP! Go the Groupers - you weirdos.
Nine out of 10 Australians don't have any clear conception of how Senate preferences are allocated. I also suggest that a good many senior political party strategists don't know either.
Go for a more transparent system. One that people can understand.
