Who to vote for? (aussie.zone)

Hi people and bots,

Two simple questions:

which party do you vote for federally? If you vote for people, which party do they align with best?
why?

I've been voting in this country for 30 years, and for the last 20, it doesn't seem to make a difference beyond undoing the last governments work.. Maybe you see something I don't.

More than any other major party, which I guess is good enough for me. Not every Greens voter is the same, so it would be quite silly to expect the party to perfectly represent the views of every supporter. If I really wanted them to better represent my personal views/beliefs then I would become a member and try to create that change from the inside but I don't care that much.

Unlike the other person who replied to you I don't pay much attention to candidates from these major parties since they all vote along party lines anyway. That kind of vote monitoring is more relevant for independents - at the party level it's pretty obvious how they're going to vote.

Yeah, I usually have a glance at the independents, check their preferences vs greens, and leave the thickest shit settled at the bottom.
