Hi Australia.
I’m planning on voting as is my duty and my privilege at the upcoming election.
I’m going to preface by saying that I don’t want my votes to go to the Dark Lord or the Liberal Party or the liars in the Labour Party. They are both completely corrupt and I’m adamant that they need to feel some pain.
So then I want to look at the independents and consider what they do and what they don’t do, and will they be truly representative, or are they just there scrambling for votes to get some money and power? Who can say?
So what I’d like to do to make sure the Liberals and Labour don’t get my vote, is find some kind of flowchart, that shows if I vote for an independent or a smaller party, where does that preference go to, so that I don’t feed the party that I don’t want to get my vote in the end.
Is there any resource out there that can show me where the preferences get fed to, so I can make an informed choice.
I feel like this should be a legal obligation, that we are all given this kind of information in a flowchart. But I can’t find it. Can anybody help?
Thank you so much.
Vote below the line, take your time and get it right then you dictate the preferences.
You don’t need to vote below the line to choose your own preferences in the Senate anymore. ‘Above the line’ voting is now preferential, with at least 6 boxes needing to be numbered.
