51% Green 6% Libs 43% ALP
Posted RE: this in the Liberal thread.
Just had a crack at the Vote-A-Matic: 62.5% aligned with the Greens! Shit I'm not that partial to them... 6.3% for the Libs BTW... ha!
I'm 93.8% aligned to the Greens.
75% ALP, 25% Greens, 0% Libs
its actually a pretty fucking good idea hey, like so normal people who have been so confused with politicians posturing etc can decide based on issues, not on cult or personality
but the questions just show how little difference there is between the two major parties
as i said in another thread
there are three options
Option 1 = a cunty way to do things
Option 2 = a slightly less cunty way to do the same things
Option 3 = a reasonable approach to most things
i wonder which is the greens options
cult of personality not cult or personality lol
I think most voters use this instead:
81.3% greens, 18.8% labor, 0% lib
not sure where the extra .1% came from
rofl
Yeah I totally found this when responding - in a number of instances though I struggled to differentiate all three options!
I was having a drunken conversation a few weeks ago about how voting for policy outcomes - not for a party that might aggregate your worldview better than whatever else is on offer - would be a much fairer version of democracy.
makes you wonder how the greens would go if they were called the FAIR GO MATE party or something similarly downhome and equanimous
i'm sure 95% of australians still think of filthy hippies chaining themselves to trees when they hear the word ''GREENS''
Yeah, trying to respond while taking phone calls isn't a good idea.
81.3% greens...o reaLly?
Labor 25%
Libs 6.3%
Greens 68.8%

FAIR GO PARTY hahaha so true
as long as the greens aint going on about the franklin river and aren't a bunch of hippies..then I guess ok...but I thought they were just hippies and a vote didn't count much.
oh come on! hehe
I rigged it though on defence. I said close US alliance and them little itty bitty spy drone plane thoingos. they so cute. I couldn't resist.
FAIR GO MATE

100% for The Greens.
Even I didn't think that would happen.
similarly to others, I found this quiz a bit flawed in that the obviously ''green'' answer is far less policy specific, and generally more agreeable. Is this more a bias of the question writer, or the lack of concrete Green policy?
Anyway, I'm apparently 33% for each party. Which doesn't help at all.
100% Greens
0% Labor
0% Libs
Fuck me.
I got what food got.
Le Rayon Vert est 100% vert.
%93.8 Green
% 6.3 ALP
% 0 Lib
I suspect my hatred on unions came through there somewhere.. then again I detest the greens but obviously whatever policies they have are going to be more inclined to where I tend to stand. Luckily I don't vote.
100% Greens.
And I have to say I answered two questions by clicking on options that were what I regarded as 'ideology, not policy' because the other two options were such terrible policy.
I'm also intrigued to know who will get my extra %0.1....
Will the ALP and Greens battle it out over Devonshire tea at the on a picnic blanket at the Murry's bank?
Will Cheryl Kernot appear in my dreams and bang me Gareth Evans style?
Will Laurie Oakes eat it?
SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!
How did you hatred of unions prevent you from getting 100% Greens, Yellza?
I can't remember, that was 15mins ago. I suspect there was something stating increasing the power of the unions over the individual that put me off.
I think that was a Labour option.
Hmmmm who knows then, maybe I had a moment of hatred for brown people on boats. I can't afford to go on a boating holiday. Fuck em'.
You could steal their boat when the Libs get in, take it back to Indonesia?
68.8% Greens
31.3% Labor
0% ALP
hah
I'm preparing the bus as a possible submarine for this outcome.
x-post
hmmm, not sure how this happened.
81.3% Greens
18.8% Liberal
0% labour
its so cute that people still believe in voting and making a difference and all that stuff. mignon.
It's not cute, it's annoying.
well, i think its cute!
