i prefer a democracy.
Sure, all sorts of clever comments are made against them, but name a better system?
I repeat ...
The Libs and Labs just wiped out the bulk of the minor parties - that's not a democracy anyone can be proud of, it's just emulating the tactics of well known dictators, past and present, in the guise of democracy
Lib Lab imposed compulsory voting forfeits the "right" to vote and voting becomes an order from the top, just like an order to troops from a General ... there's no say in the matter, and punishment can be imposed
The major parties help themselves to $22million each, of taxpayers money from the AEC after every election ... That's just pure theft from the Treasury
The AEC is biased towards the Libs and Labs, when they're supposed to be impartial. AEC officials are nearly all Lib and Lab supporters and voters. The AEC will always ensure the Libs and Labs will always win power
If your vote doesn't help to get a candidate elected, your vote loses 100% of it's value and is discarded into the "trash bin". Several million voters are disenfranchise every election, just left out in the cold and ignored
We need a better democracy than what we've got now - we need one that's democratic - so let's get started on it
