@JorgeStolfi @mcc @modulux I'm Australian. Preferential voting. You get a ballot paper (yes paper), with a whole lot of names on it. For House of Reps, usually 5-8, for Senate we call it a tablecloth. You rank the candidates in order of preference, 1 down to whatever. (There's some nuances, like voting above the line for the senate where you rank groups rather than individuals, but let's ignore that for the moment). For me, being left of left, my first ranked candidate normally has no hope. 1/n
