@jeremy1174@Mohudu@jonbernardk Also not preferencing is wasting your vote, because if you're preferred party gets eliminated on first preference and you haven't preference any other similar parties, your vote won't count to stopping the parties you don't want to see win.
@jeremy1174@Mohudu@jonbernardk My concern is that if you have let's say every freedom friendly parties eating each others votes while the few anti freedom parties take the plethora and end up winning. Preferential voting if done properly would lock out the anti-freedom parties from contending a given seat.
@Mohudu@jeremy1174@jonbernardk I mostly agree, except for removing preferential voting. If you want to make an actual difference, you have to put all the bad parties at the bottom.
Even if you have 40% of the votes, that's still 60% of the population that may not necessarily support you.
@jeremy1174@jonbernardk When people are afraid to openly discuss politics despite the fact that voting is mandatory, this is what happens, people don't understand who they're voting for, they rely on familiarity/vibes and that's how dodgy politicians take advantage of us.
