Fbarbarossa Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 3 hours ago, Patine said: Ah, Australia. Another more or less locked two-party system by engineered design (given the vaunted alternate vote is only for the two big parties, as I recall, and you can't realistically count the Liberal Party and National Party as separate parties - their locked coalition has been there, solid, since the '30's). But take heart. This means the United States is not alone in this impediment and handicap of democracy (most Anglo-Caribbean nations have solid, unchallengeable, two-party systems, too). It's my understanding that the runoff system is Australia actually made it more hospitable for third parties. If you look, you'll see more parties entered parliament with the introduction of this system. And say what you will, they're a country that has accomplished electoral reform.

Ishan Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Bandt and the Greens for first pref, and I'm not sure who'd I vote between Albo and Morrison since they both support authoritarian lockdown measures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
