FFS I hate voting it's becoming so 'woke'

NSW local government elections are on today - I saw a 'labor rainbow' banner. That's the end of it for me - Just did a donkey vote after getting marked off the roll as having turned up.

Thankfully there were no 'rainbow labor' (aussie lgbtiq branch equiv of us Democrats) candidates in my local ward. I didn't know such a thing even existed but it's not really a big surprise as there are 'fringe elements' of both the Liberals (equiv to US republican party) and Labor (equiv to US democrat party).

There's no 'Tea Party' here bit plenty of minor parties at all levels of government.

Had to look up what a donkey vote is. Preference voting is interesting

@butterflybaby75 Gotcha. It’s an interesting system. Not sure how many other countries have it

@InMyPrime We also do not do any electronic voting - all done via hardcopy paper ballot papers. I think if electronic voting does happen here there will much less participation and pushback on the compulsory 'voting' laws.

@butterflybaby75 People aren’t enthusiastic about voting in general. Any change to voting system or methodology should be carefully evaluated.

Didn't have you pegged for a ꭈасіѕt...

@LordShadowfire I just don't believe 'rainbow' has any place on a political ticket, esp as a 'fringe' element of a so-called 'mainstream' party.

@butterflybaby75 I wasn't talking about that, although I do wonder what you have against gay people. No, I'm talking about the fact that you have a problem with woke people.
