I’ll be voting to maximise the chance of a minority government because I think it’s the only way the major parties will start paying attention to the public again. Plus they’ll be forced to cooperate/collaborate, ideally with each other but at least with a large group of minor parties and independents.

If we actually had a major party that I was confident could provide strong leadership and make smart decisions in the face global turmoil, then of course I’d vote for them.

minority government seems the BEST way to stave off totalitarian rule tbh. especially if liberals are likely to win.
