Hi people and bots,

Two simple questions:

  1. which party do you vote for federally? If you vote for people, which party do they align with best?

  2. why?

I’ve been voting in this country for 30 years, and for the last 20, it doesn’t seem to make a difference beyond undoing the last governments work… Maybe you see something I don’t.

        Not everywhere. Some of their candidates resonate with me and have science and economic theory to back up what they say. Where I live now the candidate was a crystal healer and a bit wishy washy for me which put me off voting greens in my area. I voted Labor in the last election and my candidate has been pretty active in the community.

        https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/ Web site above is good for checking how your MP has been voting.

          Yeah I have found the vote results to be interesting to browse at times too, good suggestion.

          Yeah, I usually have a glance at the independents, check their preferences vs greens, and leave the thickest shit settled at the bottom.

      This is roughly how I vote and you have typed it all out better than I could

      I would usually preference greens over a single issue party but they don’t always get my first preference
