A vote for the conservatives is a vote for the terrorist State of Israel
And a vote for the progressives is a vote for immigration and LGBTI + more.

I'm not represented in this 2 party preferential system.
- None of the above.

And that's before we get to
'Rule by UN and foreign treaty';
'Hatred and bias against white people';
'All men are rapists';

Hi AC,

People choose their political parties for a variety
of reasons. To some - it's like a football club they
support. To others - it's the party their family has
always supported. To others still - its policies, and
so it goes. Many people decide on the voting day.
Others don't really care and aren't that involved and
vote because they have to. Still others are disaffected
with the major parties - and support people like Pauline
Hanson - who they feel says what they're thinking.

I'm a policies person and go on a party's track record.
To me this matters more as I get older. I look into
how a part and its leaders stand on issues important to me.
And examine how they voted in the past.

My views are not set in concrete - and my views
do change as I get older. But I don't just
blindly follow a given party. I also look at MPs
and their values and achievements. There's quite
a few younger ones that I admire and with whom I
share emails.

It has become clear AC does not understand what terrorism is. Terrorism deliberately sets out to murder innocent citizens, decapitate innocents and rape women and burn people in houses alive. War is not terrorism, there is a difference. what Putin is doing is war, what Hamas did is terrorism.

Dear Foxy,

«People choose their political parties for a variety of reasons.»

In Australia we are not meant to vote for parties - we are meant to vote for a representative.

My local member is very negative to my reasonable requests and suggestions and won't speak to me any more, so I seek to replace him and preference his opponents so that I have someone I can talk with to represent me. That is even more important to me than the policies of the party he happens to belong to.

Yuyutsu,

The parties select their representatives.
The one who replaces your current one may
also not be to your liking.
