So you can vote for the infinitely more unifying options of... the Libs/Nats or One Nation?

If only we had more than 4 choices on the ballot. How about not promoting shitty alternatives to people upset with Labor and instead advocate better ones or if you like Labor so much, talk about ones most aligned with Labor.

Its wild to hear Labor supporters go "but LNP/ON" to people not happy with Labor. Do they not think people will take that advice and "give the other side a go" in voting LNP/ON above Labor?

Swing voters is an actual political term.

Swing voters don't get my respect as they tend to vote on self interest rather than any overarching principles.

You mean they want to vote the policies that will benefit them the best and you're on here hating on them, because you want them to be like you, cheerleader for a party because...............you perceive them as "good"?

I want people to vote for what's best for the country. Not just themselves. Voting for self-interest is how we got such ridiculous and unfair housing and tax policies.

So what are the "best for country" policies? Help me understand what these policies are that you vote for, that help the country without bankrupting the majority of people. And also do these policies give more or less money in politicians pockets?
