A deeply divided Australia has found common ground in a shared feeling of complete exhaustion brought on by the federal election, before its even been fucking called.

    You still changed the topics from seats won and forming a minority government, to preferences and whether Greens vote total will help Labor win the election. It’s not a gotcha that I mentioned preferences when you are the one that brought it up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    The biggest problem I see for the Greens is that Labor has no incentive to actually court Green preferences. They assume Greens will always preference them over Liberal, because they always have. They can take those preferences for granted.

    This is completely irrelevant in seats where the two party preferred comes down to Greens vs Labor. Which is what I was talking about.

      That’s only a scenario that plays out in a few Melbourne seats. It isn’t a thing for most of the nation. So, I didn’t consider that. Sorry.
