Yes, I mostly agree with you there Paul.

..

A little longer and we shall see who wins the remaining undecided seats.

Now we have Mister Zero Percent aka Steve Fielding, saying he has the God given right to block supply if a Labor government is installed. Bozo the clown would get more votes than this bloke and I would think Bozo would show more intelligence on the subject. God should have a quiet word in Steve's ear, telling him to "Pull your head in Steve and on your way."

Ah yes. Mr Fielding.

An additional bone for the dogs to chew on.

"The outcome is not necessarily a bad thing. We are too hung up on the two party majority in Australia and a democracy which includes a number of variants to the status quo is not a bad outcome" - pelican

"I believe it is an excellent result for the Australian tax payers" - Richie 10

"Yes, I have faith that the next govt can work" - Chris Lewis

And this was prophetic, merv09

"The 2 party system plays into the hands of the fanatics too much"

Yea, verily.

And it was so.

It be great thing if all tribe could gather at big meeting house, have powwow make big medicine, decide if plant corn or hunt buffalo. But we can't, not to practical, therefore each sub tribe elects a spokesperson to go to big meeting house and after much talk the majority vote determines if the tribe will plant corn or hunt buffalo. If they can't decide what to do then the sub tribes will have to elect new spokesperson who will decide, if this goes on too long then I suppose there is no corn or buffalo and we all starve.

Well, on that one *Paul,* if *Fielding* technically is able to do this then I for one have no problem with him doing so.

Let "us" all see this crappy little tin pot system with all of its failings in the clear light of day such that hopefully Australians will stand united to become their own sovereign nation, with their own Head of State, with no Jack the Ripper in the corner of the flag, and no puppet, tourist attraction monarch who signs off on the abduction of children in our makeup,

with enshrined recognition of the Original Australians, enshrined Human Rights and a modern day more sophisticated system that snaps the back of the 2 party preferred system such that people get the representative that they vote for.

..

Well, I feel much better after that rant.
;-)

I note from the ABC that the seat of Brisbane is finalised and the final make up is:

RED - 72
BLUE - 73

GREEN - 01
OTHER - 04

How will it go do people think?

RED (72) GREEN (73) WILKIE (74) KATTER (75) WINDSOR (76)

or something else?

Pericles: Under a fairer proportional representation system base on their primary vote the Parliament would be something like L/N 67 seats, ALP 58, Greens 20 Others 5. Labor/Liberal have nothing to bitch about they have a far bigger representation than their respective votes warrant. the big losers under the present preferential system are the Greens.
