It doesn't sound like an awful idea, but what if I don't want my vote going to a candidate unless my first choice(s) don't have a chance of being elected?
Like I always vote for eco or worker party here, but would absolutely put liberals as my third choice if only because I'd rather them over the conservatives.
But I really really don't want liberals getting my vote unless I'm out of better options.
As a one-off election, you wouldn't be able to. But in the real world, we get elections every few years, so you can see how many people approve of the eco or worker party. If it's high enough that they can potentially take over the liberals, then you can safely drop your approval for them in the next election.
