SP,

Any low life that simply spews bile on everyone and uses swear words is called a troll. That he uses the name of a greek goddess that most commonly appears in world of warcraft shows that it is probably because he is sad and lonely, and probably gender challenged.

Hahaha Haz. And you seem to be thinking through your pistil, old mate ( :>)

Any thinking person, with the slightest bit of principle, has to vote ‘informal’. Or I should say; has to vote for the option of ‘no candidate deserves my vote or preferences’, which we all have the right to do!

Abbot’s going to win, with a considerable majority. But only a tiny portion of those voters are actually going to be voting for him, which makes a complete mockery of our voting system.

It would be MUCH better if we had optional preferential voting, with a formal option to vote for no candidate.

He’d still win. But at least we would get a more realistic idea of his level of support!

Even then most of those who vote for him would do it on the basis of being the slightly less horrid of the two highly despised major parties.

Dunno, the One Nation business was utterly despicable & the funding debacle provides even more reason to detest the RAbbott. As things are at present I'm wondering about the argument the red-headed witch is preferable at 99.8% crook whilst RAbbott is 99.9% crook doesn't have merit. In any case if its obvious coming into September that RAbbott has substantial support, I'll happily give the witch a tick to minimize the effects of a RAbbott landslide.

A far more transparent approach would be to have a 'none of the above' option on ballot papers, that way the will of the sheeple is unmistakable.

I can't help wondering how well would companies
survive if they were run along the lines of a
two-party system? If they had a "Management" group
and an "Opposition" group. How well would it function?

Would they spend their time arguing instead of getting
the job done?

Any thinking person with even a modicum of scruples could not vote for Labor, the party of fraud, corruption, staggering incompetence and general lying to the voters.

P, for all your feigned impartiality, you consistently only bag out the coalition. Your choice to vote labor (supposedly to prevent a liberal landslide) is no surprise, as I bet you have voted labor or green all your life.
