erm - on the other hand, couldn't NOT voting be an indication of "a curse on all your houses?" ... my problem here with Australian politics is the crying shame of expecting people to choose the less disagreeable alternative
....only here 'choosing' is compulsory - the electorate doesn't have the choice of meaningful abstention?

I know of several Aus voters who'd welcome the chance to parade outside the polling booth with a placard saying "I'm deliberately not voting because NONE of you bastards deserve my vote" and not risk a huge fine.

LOL you are kidding right?

There are 66 different parties in Australia which voters can elect.

Just a few:

Australian Motoring Enthusiasts Party

Australian Democrats

Building Australia Party

Democratic Labour Party

Socialist Alliance Party

Uniting Australia Party

If Aussie voters can't find something they like in all of those choices, pity help them.

As someone who lived with Carmel in the past all I can say is "Good Luck".
I had great times with many Islanders - but she is just a slob and a thief.

Geez and I thought the US has it bad.

A Labour MP in Kelston wherever the fuck that is?

I am sure she will have a lot of influence over our lives.

0.75%. More if she turns up to work.

if I were a politician, I'd care ... I'd wonder what I was doing so badly that I wasn't capturing the imagination of the electorate ... I'd wonder what I should do to align myself with their aspirations that would engage with them and bring them along with me

- i mean, i know i'm a sweet old fashioned thing but surely you HAVE to have a a community focus, a dedication to serving the electorate ... and how can you do that if you don't have your finger on the pulse?

Under MMP the local candidates can do all of that, win their electorate and still lose their constituent's party vote. Labour actually won just 5 electorates by party votes.

Most of the idiots here slinging shit about not voting as a protest agin' "the system" seem to have overlooked that little nugget: you can be as personable, friendly, helpful and competent as a candidate can well be but unless your party's policy represents what the voters want you simply won't get to implement them.

I wonder how many picked that effect could be quite so decisive when they voted for MMP...

I tried, didn't have the option; best I could find was ice-cream & llamas so I voted for that...

tis true, but he can lay down some pretty awesome tracks (musical), does everything from deathmetal to dubstep

[swbarnett]

And the one's that didn't don't count.

Oh yes, they do. Some of them anyway.

There are two very valid reasons not to vote - if you genuinely don't care or you have absolutely no confidence in any of the slimy bastards.

For the former I agree with you. They have no opinion either way so they have effectively voted evenly for ALL parties.

However, those that have no confidence in any party have effectively voted for none. If I could've voted no confidence then I would've put tick to paper. As it stands, if I had voted for any party it would've been a lie.
