Fellow Neitherists,
I would like to propose:
That until the nature of Australian electorates changes, Neither adopt
national policy in favor optional preferential voting for both single
member and multi-member electorates.
and that support for such a policy be a requirement for membership.
I'd propose this because (unless I've completely missed the point) this
seems to me to be where we're coming from, whether anarcho-Stalinist or
otherwise. Forcing voters to preference people they may wish to actively
vote against seems to be somewhat undemocratic, and definitely is another
tool which props up the two-party state.
(So are single-member electorates, I'm coming to that in a separate post)
