A Q'n for Aussie voters, will you be filling out your preferences properly, or let your part of choice do it?

We Answered:

I usually just draw a penis on my ballot paper.

Edit: The first thing I'd do if our Metal party got elected is contruct a park in Blackwater, Queensland...

Mabel Said:

Would you vote the Democratic Party or the Republican in US election?

We Answered:

The best party of the year the Democrats, I do not want 8 more years of the same old stuff. Let the tyranny end and lets regain our democracy.

Whats more important to Americans ? Love of their Country or Support of a Political Party ?

We Answered:

I applaud the Questioner on asking this?

To emphasize what you ask, I ask you to look at the answer left by Drew Blood, where he shares his view of what the "2 political parties" stand for, then goes on to emphatically state what party he stands for, then sinks to describe himself "for country".

He exemplifies the deterioration of the people inside of America, with, who should be allowed to exist and who shouldn't by passing a taboo that has long sense outlive its usefulness by branding one party as a giveaway and the other party as keep it for yourselves.

This is what's happened to our people who tell you that they live in a 'free" country, yet don't understand the parallels of repressiveness that exists within because of the changes in law that have occurred in the last 7 years.

America has sunken into "Football" politics where the people who follow, only follow to belong to something, not to do anything that is right for the country. Their idea of "right" is, 'if you're in this party, then you must be ok'. The people have forgotten about elections for the best candidate that can help their community.

My Dad taught me that when you WANT to understand something, you, go and look at how it works and DON'T EVER let themes that have been past on to you, cloud your review.

Believe me, I am NOT picking on Drew, I am merely pointing to what he shares that has NOT been true for over 40 years, yet so many like him continues (unknowingly on his part) to push this UNTRUE THEMES of what political parties stand for. (Go look at the Party's Pages as the party tells you very clearly what they stand for!)

Let's all Americans stop this Party nonsense and start being American. Let all start looking for the best candidate in our community. If we do, there still a chance that Americans can get America back on track.

Yes we have deteriorated. Yes, most Americans Love their Party, and no matter what that Party does, the followers NEVER question the direction or the repression that occurs??? Yes, "Country" only exists to serve the special interest of the Party.

Australian Elections. Which preferences go to which party?

We Answered:

"Preference tickets" show the way that each party or group or ungrouped candidate will direct their preferences. The aec.gov.au website will have those tables once the candidates are known. You can also see the list at a polling booth on election day. Here are the preference deals for the 2004 election. http://www.abc.net.au/elections/federal/… If you look at the ACT Senate Australian Democrats, you'll see that they split their preferences between ALP and the Coalition, as is their policy. These preferences only affect your vote if you vote "above the line" on the Senate ballot. That is, if you only choose 1 party, then that party will direct your preferences according to their list. About 95% of voters vote above the line.
If you vote "below the line" [as I do] you can choose your own preferences.

In Australia, you have to number every box consecutively for the House of Representatives. You can't repeat or miss a number. For the Senate, you must put the number "1" above the line OR number all boxes below the line. (Actually, the Senate ballot rules allow up to 3 'sequencing errors' before the tablecloth is declared informal.)

Here's the story of preferences, with an example from the WA Senate vote in the 2001 election. http://www.abc.net.au/elections/federal/… This describes the process and shows some of the 156 steps it took to count all of the preferences on that occasion. As you can see, the preferences went a long way before the final result was known.

Jesus Said:

Does Canada ever track political party preferences to Province/Region and Ethnic Group? ?

We Answered:

In fact, that sort of tracking goes on all the time - it's why you see the political leaders parading around, at intervals, in ethnic costumes.

Troy Said:

Why did you pick your party? And preference?

We Answered:

most people with their hands out are Democrats. Most injury lawyers are Democrats. I feel that we should work hard and be responsible for ourselves, and I feel that we should be honest, therefore I will vote for anyone or anything that is not a Democrat.

Gloria Said:

Why does it seem like someone from the LIberal party is having an identity crisis,?

We Answered:

100%

It's a clear example of the typical liberal lies again. They try to act like a conservative but they just can't do it (with a straight face) and thus their cover is blown.
