Well,I did my bit and voted Green 1 thru 7. Alas didnt help much.
I wouldn't say that, every vote for the greens pushes both parties in that direction because it lets them know that's where they need to go to win votes.
They call it a protest vote, and protest can be an effective means of long term change and signalling to the powers that be.
Protest voting does a lot more than it's given credit for.
Sounds like the Greens did well:
Sounds like there's also a chance they'll help form minority government, which would be pretty much the best result anyone could reasonably have expected.
Same, I was really hoping Eric Abetz wouldn't get in though. He needed to go quietly into the good night.
