Minor party Preferences

[mellie]

I watched Clive Palmers campaign DVD last night, and had to laugh at his repetitious campaign commercials and how he deliberately said Tony Gillard and Julia Abbott at least three times during his spool to allude to Gillard and Abbott being one in the same.
Furthermore, he didn’t mention Rudd once, when he set about trashing both major parties leaders.

Part of the DVD was filmed around June 3, (he mentioned in the DVD how tomorrow, a NSW candidate will be selected for his party) and like everyone else, Clive would have known a Labor leadership spill was imminent...though kept rolling the film as though Gillard was to lead Labor to the election regardless.

He's been distributing his anti- Abbott and Gillard propaganda in suburbs like Blacktown.

I think he'll preference a Rudd Labor government despite claiming both Liberal and Labor aren’t worth backing.

....I tweeted Mr Palmer and am waiting for him to get back to me re- his intentions with respects to his preferences.

I also enquired about his Titanic II (He's building a replica of the old girl in China) and asked if when he's finished with that project if he'd fancy reconstructing the Berlin Wall.

Mining magnate and opposition backer Clive Palmer has heaped praise on Labor Premier Anna Bligh over her handling of Queensland's flood disaster.

Mr Palmer made the comments in Beijing as he hosted Ms Bligh, who is there on a trade mission aimed at boosting Chinese investment in Queensland.

"The premier is a wonderful premier, she's done a lot for Queensland," the ABC quoted the Liberal National Party donor as telling 50 guests.

"I think all Queenslanders would agree after the premier's courageous showing in the floods that she's a really legendary leader."

Voting for a minor party is like turning up to the polls wearing a blindfold unless you have read and understood the following Group Voting Tickets. (GVT's)..to see where your vote ends up.

Fortunately how to votes are just a suggestion and not mandatory... I never take them.
Infuriates the party staff.

But a lot of people do.

Unfortunately.

There is a rule here in Canberra that they are NOT allowed to hand out "how to vote" cards within 100 metres (I think - or could be 200?) of the Polling Booth. When they were allowed to hand them out, I used to make a big fuss of saying NO THANKS to Labor and the Greens and taking one from the Liberals ... just to annoy.

So it's not the Titanic Movie then?

Bullshit? less than 50% of people follow a how to vote card, the dumbfvcks.
Even less of GREENS voters,around 29 % follow a how to vote card, unlike conservatives they have more than three brain cells.
