@victor55365350@GhostWhoVotes Because roughly 54% of the population of Kooyong voted for a left wing candidate.
It’s a simple as this, would you rather a system where the MP is the person with the most votes against the majority of support or the MP is the person with majority of support.
@victor55365350@GhostWhoVotes@victor55365350 in this situation that you want, the left wing party wins as they received the most votes when 60% of people voted for other candidates. In this model 57% people voted for conservative candidates but the left still won.
Preferences allow everyone’s stop this.
@victor55365350@GhostWhoVotes Non preferential voting/first passed the post means results like this:
Left Wing Party (winner): 40% of vote
Centre-Right Wing Party: 30% of vote
Right-Wing Party: 25% of vote
Environmental Party: 3% of vote
Local Conservative Independent: 2% of vote
🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨🚨
Early exit polls are showing a STRONG swing towards to the liberals in Newcastle with @PullCal in a strong lead to be the next Lord Mayor of Newcastle and Rochelle Manning to win a spot in Ward 1.

So elections will be funded by taxpayers money, and only those who have personal wealth will have the advantage.
In summary:
> Public money being spent on political billboards, signs and TV Ad’s instead of schools and hospitals.
> A system which favours the rich
An election should be determined by the quality of candidates, the power of one’s ideas.
It shouldn’t be about money.
That’s why we’re banning all political donations.
@Maggie_Perry6 Maggie I think you should also look at Gilmore and Paterson in NSW. Only 2 Labor seats to swing towards the Liberals at the last election.
With Andrew Constance running for Gilmore again, it’s a very possible gain.
+ I just can’t see labor gaining seats. They’re losing traction
Great to finally see some interest in my parliamentary speeches 🤣

@CaseyBriggs@NSWPolAlerts Are you not more concerned about a split in the Labor Seats? Some of its most marginal seats had some of the highest No Votes.
The Liberal Party has to work out how to balance the Liberalism and Conservatism.
But the Labor party has a much bigger struggle on its hands.
@AntonyGreenElec The seat of Paterson looks like it can only improve the margin for the Liberal Party. The seat has to cut off voters to come back into quota. West Maitland and Kurri will drop the margin down and is the only geographical region that makes sense.
@johaylen why can shopping centres fix escalators in 3 days, yet the #greensquare escalators have been broken for 3 months.
And the one of the right hand side has broken multiple times in that period.
#NSWpol
Oh and guess what - they’re just sitting here on the tracks doing nothing. $3Billion sitting on the track due to Labor games.
@johaylen when can I get on my new train?
On the old and outdated intercity fleet of train heading from Newcastle to Sydney.
Just thinking how I could be on the new intercity fleet (secured thanks to Andrew Constance and @GladysB) if the RTBU and Labor didn’t play political games in the lead up to the election.

@mittbag@ChrisMinnsMP Yes, I too have never heard of Newcastle or Wollongong.
Actually I have never heard of Tweed, Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie, Taree, Maitland, Gosford, Terrigal. Let alone, Shellharbour, Kiama, Shoalhaven, Nowra + more.
Oh and I have NEVER heard of Tamworth, Armidale, Dubbo +
