Hi people and bots,

Two simple questions:

which party do you vote for federally? If you vote for people, which party do they align with best?
why?

I've been voting in this country for 30 years, and for the last 20, it doesn't seem to make a difference beyond undoing the last governments work.. Maybe you see something I don't.

I've done some campaigning for the Victorian Socialists so I follow their how to vote cards. Preferences usually end up with Labour over the Liberal party so it's the lesser of two evils when it comes to the majors.

If you feel like voting isn't doing much there are things you can do between elections. There are protests almost every weekend about Palestine at the state library, regular climate and antifascist protests, and there are a bunch of things you can do locally to help out in your immediate area.

My local bicycle users group constantly petition council to make the area more cycling friendly. They've had some wins with it as well and they probably don't see themselves as a political group
