@kevinbonham I noticed this today. I expect Corey to be running this line in the future
Those ON supporters calling for this will generally not call for PR because what they really want is a system that turns their 22% of the primary vote into 22% of the seats but the Greens' 10% into no seats. And they can keep looking but no such system exists.
Social media is naturally awash right now with calls for the abolition of preferential voting, which would do precisely nothing to address the issue being raised. Yet to be see in the wild (by me at least): a call for what would, namely proportional representation.
preferential voting is designed to protect the uniparty
Further counting in Ngadjuri has seen Labor’s Tony Piccolo gain on Liberal MP Penny Pratt, meaning Pratt will likely be knocked out. One Nation’s David Paton is therefore the favourite to win on Liberal preferences
@TheKennyDevine @MisinfoFact @pwafork James isn’t a journalist, and to be fair, has never claimed to be. He was a wine blogger, and republican propagandist with the occasional column in the Tele, which the editor decided qualified him to be briefly, their federal political correspondent.

@PollBludger No, completely different. She had to get support from other parties, such that together they represented a majority proportion of voters. Meanwhile Albo governs with a majority of seats in spite of having no such support.
@PollBludger Not sure why the largest party ought to have any significance, what matters is forming a majority. Jacinda Ardern for instance become PM while not being from the largest party, do you have a conceptual problem with that?
