@BrentHodgson The irony is that this blind support for an alleged war criminal actually disparages other adf personnel. The ones that came forward and spoke about what they witnessed, effectively calling them all liars.
@MAGATruthX@EricTrump Howโs this a history lesson? It shows trump has no idea of history. The answer is pretty obvious as to why Japan didnโt tell him about pearl Harbour. Trump is just deflecting to avoid answering a question. Weird you think this is a clever retort, it makes him look stupid.
@burkylie12 Because whilst Australian parliamentary rules prohibit the use of props or theatrical displays in the chamber, the rules donโt prevent a person from wearing garments worn as genuine identity or solidarity.
@kevinbonham@JimThom90458694 Agree with Kevin preferential voting is very simple and ensures every vote counts. Also if you want the party who you want to vote for to tell you how to vote then grab their how to vote card.
@RogersTim_2206@Court1066408@BernardKeane That weighting issue is an interesting point. But it is part of what I like about the preferential system. It means that just cos I donโt happen to vote the same as enough of my neighbors I still get to have say in who represents me.
@Dallas62130926@LadySappho@BernardKeane I take from this comment what you mean is if you put a โright wing partyโ first and they donโt get up, then your preference should flow to another โright wing partyโ. Have I understood you correctly?
@Court1066408@RogersTim_2206@BernardKeane That does sounds pretty whack. But FPTP also can throw up this sort of result. I guess the idea with FPTP is your vote might not count if you donโt vote for someone โcompetitiveโ but then that just seems to favor major parties and incumbents and the previous second place.
@RogersTim_2206@Court1066408@BernardKeane Maybe some crazy hybrid. First TWO or THREE (depending on number of candidates) past the post then the votes that didnโt go anywhere distributed to those two/three based on preferences [not a fully thought through idea, just a thought bubble].
@RogersTim_2206@Court1066408@BernardKeane Thanks for your reply Tim. Bit confused your comment was that preferential was redundant and past use by date. But you think we should go by an even older method (I think UK is first past post) to honor Westminster system. Is it that your view is FPTP is an oldie but a goodie?
