Aussie m8s, the AEC is currently reminding me to tick boxes to work the next election - this means they're starting to plan logistics for the next election! If you need a cash top-up, working the election is a good way to do it, as the daily rate is quite decent. It's also quite interesting to get an insider perspective on our democracy. Highly recommend.

@mori

Preferential (and compulsory) voting to directly elect representatives is v. good compared some other democracies and democratic republics.

(Yeah, #DemocraticRepublic is just included for our friends in the USA who've been propagandised into thinking they're not a democracy.)

I can #VoteGreen in Australia and still put Labor in front of the #Duttons and be sure that, barring idiocy by the #AEC, that my vote will count 1stly for the Greens, and if needed for Labor.

Maybe #Straya need to regime change the #USA and install a real democracy?

#PreferentialVoting aka #RankedChoiceBallots

#Voting on a Saturday, with a polling place within walking distance for most people, easy to #vote in advance, and not too tricky to vote by post

and an independent federal body to draw electorate (district) boundaries, run polling places, and run the counting - like our #AEC aec.gov.au/

The Yanks can skip the #CompulsoryVoting if they insist. But it is good for calming politics no need for the "bring out the vote" intensity with "or the opposition will eat your kids" madness. And it makes some fraud even harder to do - like voter impersonation or dead people voting - if everybody votes in every election.

#Australian #democracy is not perfect, but i think we're probably close to the "least-broken"?

Our worst problem is #mining company influence, to parties and the public
🎶you're gonna get whacked, by the mining tax🎶

The expanding #Green and #Teal #CrossBench is providing some push back on the #mining lobby's environmental bullshit.

But we're still getting ripped off, if the government says we "can't afford" something, they're lying. We have an entire continent full of almost every mineral the world wants to buy, we just need to #tax it properly or nationalise it, not let a few individuals hoard all the profits.

But if we went full محمد مصدق or #Gough #Whitlam … then our friends the USA might decide we'd picked the wrong government and change it for us?

I don't necessarily want to change their government, I want to change how they elect it.

a #TwoPartyState is not really any better than a #OnePartyState
