Today is #state #election in Rhineland-Palentine[1][2]. Just went to my old primary school to do my two crosses. Counts will be first posted after closing time[3]. I must say, I much prefer Australian #preferentialvoting [4]. I find it gives me more control over my #vote. On my way there, I had an inspiring chat with a neighbour. She said, "we are the state."

This by election would be a good opportunity to launch a nonpartisan grassroots STV electoral reform campaign, but I just don't have the capacity to do it all - website, leaflets, street stalls, social media.

It looks like #RobertFKennedy will be running as an independent next year in the #USElections.
We will do something clearly unspeakable to #trolls invested in the #weaponsIndustry and forced #medicalExperimentation — we'll wish him all the best.
To those that think #RFK will spoil their beloved #twoPartyParadigm, firstly grow up, its called a #democracy and the greater the choices the better. Second, there's a thing called #PreferentialVoting that all civilised countries have. Do check it out!

Queuing at the polling station for #WesternAustralia's government election.
Meant to #VoteEarly but woke up and it's election day#Perth has some tiny drizzle patches drifting by.
Lookung forward to the #LegislativeCouncil paper - some 25 candidates EDIT: Groupings! get my #PreferentialVoting - yay! (The candidates have the electors attendance pretty much guarranteed. So "winding them up enough to get them to actually vote" is removed from the equation.)

Dear Nunyabidnes,There’s less than six days left until polls close, and approximately 20% of voters have already cast their vote. At this rate, over half of all voters will have voted before election day this Saturday.

We don’t have much time left.Early voting starts on Tuesday. In last year’s state election nearly 70% of voters cast their vote before election day.
Far-right lobby group Advance have raised over $7.6 million dollars specifically to fight the Greens, thanks to their wealthy backers.

CW: Auspol
if you would like a simple explanation of #PreferentialVoting…
which means although there are two major parties, we can vote for third parties or independents without splitting our vote(and the reason it’s annoying when media only report on two major parties)

Yeah, fine with them not being able to form government
Most of the good governments around the world are minority governments and regularly areNot sure on the truth of them not able to form gov, though
Don't know the rules on coalitionsAlso not sure if they are not the solution or if the FIXING of duopoly is at all a solution

On the campaign trail so far, I’ve spoken to so many of you – and I’m hearing the same thing again and again: people are really struggling right now.Being unable to afford the weekly shop, massive rent hikes, and putting off doctor and dentist visits for as long as possible.

Hi Friend,Can you believe it’s almost been a week since the election kicked off? And what a week it’s been!
We’ve already seen a huge wave of support for the Greens right across the country – with thousands of people just like you signing up to help get our message out.
We’re fired up. We’re prepared. And we’re hitting the ground running.

Not true. Trump did not receive a 'massive mandate' as he keeps claiming.
Trump received LESS than 50% of the votes and only 2/3rd of the eligible voters voted. So he received less than 33% of the possible votes.
In many countries, receiving less than 50% of the votes results in a new election with only the two remaining candidates.
He would have lost that. This is precisely why preferential voting is so important.

Double the Disaster Recovery Payment to $2,000 for adults and $800 for children.
Make the coal and gas corporations responsible for the climate crisis foot the bill.

THE MAGIC of #PreferentialVoting.
Australia has preferential voting so a person can make their #vote transfer to another candidate at FULL VALUE.
We just tallied quotas of minor parties that were good enough to be placed ahead of #majorParties and Greens.
The quota was exceeded in EVERY state!
So if everyone who voted for quality #minorParties numbered as many quality parties as they could, we'd have 12 #independent minorParty #Senate member in parliment.
Your preferences matter!

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

They are insidious. The #fauxLeft in the US also vicerally despise third party candidates like #JillStein because they think he Dems are a valid choice still, and due to a lack of a #preferentialVoting system (aka #rankChoiceVoting) they attack the true left alternatives.The US is on the decline though. Their #neoliberal model has failed - it's just a matter of time now.
-
Ranked #voting, also known as #PreferentialVoting or instant-runoff voting (#IRV), is how they do it here in the #EU.
I'm an #Irish citizen now (still holding on to my #US citizenship and voting #Democrat though). Yesterday=first time I voted using this system.
Better-designed system, imho. Sharing so fellow #American #voters can get a sense of how this works. I wish it were everywhere in #USA. Apparently, it's only shown up in limited areas.
Makes sense, right?
-
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.
-
Australia's Identify and Disrupt Bill is an attack on the people. It allows #police to hack you without adequate protections.
Use #flightMode to #protest.
It was hurriedly voted into legislation by the two #majorParties on 25 Aug. This coming election put the #majorParties dead last — not just last of the minimum, six votes.

#Australians all let us read Joyce*.
For we are literary,
We read our books down at the beach,
