Comment on Australia to provide military support to Gulf states attacked by Iran
MisterFrog@aussie.zone 2 weeks agoI’ll preference the Greens over Labor because the Labor party is a centre-right party, but fuck, the Greens had such a sook when they lost at the last federal election, even claiming that preferential voting was somehow unfair.
Like???
Wtf.
Git gud The Greens, Christ.
P.S. I think single member electorates ought to be expanded to 3 member electorates (and maybe increase the number of lower house MPs by 50%), to mitigate against a party getting less than 50% of the vote (after preferences) but more than 50% of the seats and therefore 100% of the power.
I’m not for state-wide proportional in the lower house though, because it’ll make forming government too difficult in my opinion (evidenced by Tasmania and a bunch of European countries where that’s a thing). I think having a proportional upper house with Hare-Clark is pretty decent as a tempering.
