    The ordering of how right wing they are matters. That’s the whole point of preferential voting.

    If you abstain from ranking all candidates, you are acting the same as US voters claiming that “both sides are the same” and then not voting, particularly if your preferred minor candidate(s) doesn’t have a chance of winning in your electorate.

      And this is exactly why America ended up with Trump, people always wanting to support the lesser of two evils.

      Don’t do what Americans do. Don’t blindly support a shit right wing party because you’re scared of a shit right wing party and let the whole country collapse after decades of right wing rule.

      If Lab want my vote back, they can earn it instead of sliding further right every year.
