Graywolf wrote;- In Australian Politics there are Independent candidates as well as the two major parties,so one (or more)can express ones displeasureby voting against them both.We have a situation in the Senate(Federal Upper House) where the Independent parties hold the balance of power much to the chagrin of the elected Government who have to negotiate deals to get legislation passed.Strange system when the elected Gov.(House of Reps.)has to go through a house of review with ratbag indy's holding enormous sway beyond their vote.
