Exaclty. They have a dumbarse first past the post system where you either vote for a shit party or throw your vote away. So people throw their vote away if they are disillusioned with the shit two party system.
We have an S tier electoral system where you can rank your preferences and make politicians aware that people are voting for particular issues and still make sure your vote goes to the least bad major. We don’t want the sort of ignorance they have in the US where nobody gives a shit then they act all surprised. Fuck that. As major parties go the ALP is ok. They won’t be my first choice but I am not leaving a vote that impacts my family to a bunch of News Corp readers.
That is a terrible idea. You just threw your vote away, That is how the really bad guys get in.
This isn’t America mate.

I’m voting Greens and any leftist minor party.
I’m not voting Lib, Lab, or any other rightist party.
As major parties go, Lab are only okay compared to Lib. They’re thoroughly shit when compared to our better options.
At no point is my vote thrown away.
