"Now that we've joined the middle class, You can stick the red flag up up your arse!" @wood5y @Su_G @DrALJONES To the tune of the 'Red Flag', (which was once the Labour Party's anthem):
The working class can kiss my arse,
I'm in Westminister at last!So very true of this current gang of champagne socialists in the 'labour party'.

@Oyu_Fka @Su_G @DrALJONES It's no longer the party 3 generations of my family have supported and/or served.

Ditto our so-called Australian Labor Party (still terrified of Murdoch):

@DrALJONES @Oyu_Fka @Su_G I would class someone murdering Nasty Uncle Rupert as justifiable homicide.

@wood5y @Su_G @DrALJONES You're right there....I'm 73yo, and rabidly supported the Labour Party in my youth, but no more.
I have lived in the South Wales valleys all my life, voted Labour - without question - bc I had trust in them....until blair became leader, (and still pulling the strings in the background, imho).
Up to now, I've usually spoiled my vote by writing 'None of the above', but this time I'm voting Green in the upcoming Welsh elections - they are the Left wing in the UK now.

I'm already in trouble with master masto for "supporting violent ideology". Sorry, I can't boost -

Yes, agree. What everyone needs - just for a start - is ranked-choice voting - how Mamdani got in.

@DrALJONES @wood5y @Su_G I haven't researched it, but I heard something about the Welsh elections will be based on some form of proportional representation, which worries me in that some seats in the Senedd, (Welsh Parliament), will be allocated to the reform fascists - this cannot happen.
This is the one time I support 'First past the post'....we don't need any grifters over here, lol!

@Oyu_Fka @DrALJONES @Su_G Yes, PR will be used for the Senedd elections, but all the indications since the #Caerffili by-election point to Plaid keeping out the Farage Fan Club.

@wood5y @DrALJONES @Su_G Plaid won there bc their representative had been a plaid councillor there for donkey's years, whereas the reform clown had no history there.
It's nothing like a safe bet, voting plaid....I mean, even their comment here is in Welsh - I don't know what it says, (
or care for that matter, lol!).I live in the actual valleys, and I can assure you there's plenty of people up here that are racist by nature and would welcome reform. It's frightening

Australia uses preferential (ranked-choice) voting.
It means you can vote for minor parties without being a "spoiler" or "wasting" your vote.
Eg if you vote 1 greens, but they fail to get a majority, your vote goes to your second choice. And so on.
It puts a lot of pressure on corrupt duopolies & can lead to green-labour, etc. coalitions
