  Just make sure you put Labor ahead of the LNP and cooker parties since they will be objectively worse. But otherwise, agreed.

    Though put the Greens ahead of Labor. Labor losing seats to the Greens, and having to depend on the Greens to govern, is a realistic possibility, and Greens MPs holding their feet to the fire could provide a counterbalance to the revolving door to corporate Australia.

      Love to see it. Exploit preferential voting, have your say (personally greens, but anything other than abortion illegal will do)

        I mean it’s not really exploiting if that is exactly the reason why preferential voting exists. Or do I misunderstand something?

    What is a cooker party? Google is not helping.

      afaik, ‘cooker’ has risen as a slang term for the wackier conspiracy theorists:

      From Wiktionary:

      5. (slang, Australia) A person who makes or uses illicit drugs, especially methamphetamine or cannabis.

      7. (slang, derogatory, Australia) A person who is cooked in the head; a crazy person.
      8. (slang, derogatory, Australia) A conspiracy theorist, especially one who is involved in politics.

        Oh okay, I think I have in mind some politicians that fit into the description. Thanks!

      Cooker definition

      So yeah. There can be independent parties with uh… fringe beliefs that you may not align with. So it’s good to do research on each party or candidate

        Indies? I define “cooker” as the LNP and everyone to the right of them.

        I cannot vote but as a recent arrival I’m in the process of getting the picture.

      eureka explained it well, but my slighter broader definition is:

      • Anti-vaxxer and other single-issue conspiracy parties
      • Religious right parties
      • Nazis

  We have preferential voting for a reason (except for literal Nazis), the major parties should always be last on everyone’s ballot.

  It should be;

  1. Someone I agree with
  2. Someone I agree with on a lot of issues but not quite everything.
  3. ditto
  4. ditto
  5. Greens, unless the candidate is a complete hippy fucktard that doesn’t know how economics works.
  6. Shit Lite party
  7. Shit party.
  8. Yellow Shitstain
  9. Literal Nazis.
