Obviously fringe dwellers like the Greens like preferential voting as it is the only thing they have going for them

With it they can become the tail that wags the dog to some extent by hawking their preference to the highest bidder. This is nothing but corruption on a grand scale, where a small minority gain power illegitimately over the majority.

It is a totally corrupt system which should never been allowed in a democracy.

Dear Hassie,

Where would the Liberal Party be without the Nationals?
Should Coalitions be allowed?

Foxy I think Hasbeen would not think that fair
As we age some get even more grumpy, my view on Australian Conservatives and one nation are while well thought out not a reaction to my age or biases
Reality has a roll to play but not always seen here post election loss it will be clear the right of this government has helped defeat the government

Steady on there Foxy, your'e talking about the good guys, of course Hassy will agree with coalitions, for the good guys.

Hasbeen, have you been able to find a peace loving party to vote for? One that supports your peace loving idea of the nuclear annihilation of 200 million innocent men, women and children in Pakistan. You said it!

No use trying to get balanced comment out of some
And in fact if Pakistan said that about us?

Need to expand on my last post
See some views here, if made public, would see even more voters flee the LNP
It remains true voters do not want a purely left or right government
Putting our hands over our ears or eyes and shouting I can not hear/see you is not going to change that
The fact is as we age we some at least, get further from just what others are thinking
In leaving our bias in the bucket at the door we may just see and hear that unpleasant thing, truth
