Y’all have first past the post / winner takes all, don’t you? There was a vote recently and “labor” won from what I’m reading?
Labor, coalition, independents, etc. what kinds of parties are these? I thought Albanese was a “cunt” yet his party seems to have won again? What’s going on?
This contradicts FPTP - Australia does not use FPTP.
I get what you’re saying, but there were other viable alternatives (as unlikely as they were!) precisely because we aren’t in a two-party FPTP system.
The lower house single-member electorate voting system does still favour larger parties, it’s just way, way, better than FPTP.

Relevant part starts at “Majoritarian (or ‘winner takes all’) systems” about a third of the way down.
