Is this the ultimate reason behind the merger in QLD? That is, optional preferential voting is leading to a reduction in voter choice, as political parties seek to limit the options given to the public so they are commensurate with the ability of the voting system to handle those options fairly. The greens would just love that there be the opposite of optional. Cant have people having options. There shouldn't even be preferential voting, but at worst, it should only remain an option. First past the post should be the only way to vote. I agree, that way the conservatives would have only won power twice in the last 70 years. While we're at it, ban coalitions,that is for losers that cant win in their own right,anyway. With a first past the post system only the single winning party should/could form government,majority rules,hey bro??? and now for the truth... under your idiotic system you would allow a government to be formed with a MINORITY of the seats thus ensuring that they could never get their legislation passed, would lose every no-confidence motion and have an election every 3 months. Of course what they could do is negotiate with other minor parties to establish a de-facto coalition to ensure govt can function. in other words, EXACTLY WHAT WE HAVE NOW. So you dont agree with your rightard chum, progresives lol? longwhine??? I thought the Lib congo line would have a meltdown when they realised first past the post meant they only get to govern once every 35 years or so, if you had half the brain if a real kangaroo you would realise that in almost every seat (a couple of exceptions) libs and nats dont stand against each other. In the last election the coalition would have romped it in with first-past-the-post voting as around 20 seats were won for labor using green preferences. so yeah. if you want, bring in first=past-the-post voting. there might not be another labor govt for decades - if ever. If you had half the brain of a senile old fart you'd realise that under the first past the post discussion being had a coalition would not be allowed,and the LIBS have NEVER won the first past the post in this country alone without NATS help, and even then only a few times. Keep dreaming grandpa. of course. lets ban coalitions and ban preferences and ban how-to-vate cards for conservatives. what about banning the right to advertise for conservatives? all you are doing is showing your desperation by constructing a fantasy scenario that can disenfranchise the electorate so that your party can get in. it is as lame as it sounds.
