#onepartystate — Public Fediverse posts

From this moment forward, until such time as the cancer has passed, the orange menace shall be known as "L'enfant terrible." This is only MY policy. #trump #americaheldhostage #orangemenace #fascism #onepartystate

All those voters who preferenced the #LNP after labor, independents and greens at the last federal election must be very dissatisfied with the actions of the Albanese Labor government.

Australia now has an LLNP* voting alinement.

Environment watchdog powers may be weakened to pass parliament, Albanese says https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/article/2024/sep/02/labor-government-environment-watchdog-delays?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

“…#Israel evacuated the #Gaza Strip in 2005, removing its. settlements. In 2007, #Hamas seized power, killing its #Fatah rivals in a short civil war. Hamas set up a #OnePartyState that crushes #Palestinian opposition within its territory, bans same-sex relationships, represses women, & openly espouses the killing of all Jews.

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 https://www.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
