Shit still funnels from Greens to Lab.

Spreading that kind of bullshit is why not enough people vote 3rd party. This underlying idea that it’s all rigged anyway.

Your preferences go where you direct them. If you’re ignorant enough to follow any Party’s how to vote card, that’s on your head.

So I've looked it up, 2 election ago they finally allowed for exhausted votes.

You'll have to forgive me for missing the change from Full Preferential Voting to Partial Preferential Voting. This was not the case for the majority of elections I've participated in.

I mean you shouldn't let it exhaust because it makes your vote less powerful. Unless you genuinely think the Liberal party and Labor are exactly the same (which is insanity in my view). Also to be clear it's still full preferential in the lower house. The upper house changed to require a certain minimum of preferences (I think it's 6 off the top of my head) rather than the terrible party preference ATL system that used to exist. You can still do BTL if you can be bothered as well.

I don’t think they’re exactly the same, but I think neither is worth my vote. Lab are welcome to earn it with policies that appeal to me, an opportunity not afforded to a Lib.
