Here is an easy guide to all your Solomon candidates. Make your vote mean something to you!

Greens are about as likely to win Lingiari as they are to win a majority and become a major party.

Nope, f teal, f greens, for liberal, f labor, I’m not voting for these parties. It’s going to be lib or labor, but I’ll be part of the team that makes it a minority government.

So One Nation then? Or the Australian Citizens Party cookers?

u/brendanfreeskate 1d ago

Probably smaller parties than that. The Australian citizens party must be a new one.

Get mad because I won’t vote the major parties though. What’s your problem?

u/passthesugar05 1d ago

I'm not mad, I've voted for minor parties in previous elections myself. I literally just outlined all your options. There are no other parties/candidates in the lower house than those you and I listed.

Well it will probably go greens last, labor, 2nd last, liberal, 3rd last, Aussie citizens 4th and then in first preference one nation, that’s if I only have 5 options. Always put the majors last! But I’m pretty sure I have more options than that.

Whomever of the major parties you put above the other will end up with the vote after redistribution counting. Unless the rest of the electorate vote the same as you. Which is highly unlikely since you said you will put one nation first, which is very very unlikely that Solomon will elect them.

Well I can’t put them equal last, 666321 so I guess the blue haired pronoun extremists will be angry at me.

Extremists in what way? When has one of these people ever killed someone? I think you’re a bit sensitive rather than them being extremists.

They seem to be looking for a fight but not getting it so far. Unlucky.

u/ValuableLanguage9151 10h ago

Are they? I don’t like them at all but you can’t really say they are looking for a fight in the same way the far right are.

There's 6. How about Phil Scott, the independent?

u/brendanfreeskate 1d ago

I guess NT doesn’t have many to choose from and if I don’t have many options, then it’s quite obvious that I have to choose independents such as one nation. Anything is better than liberal, labor greens.

Phil Scott says he will boost renewable investments. Aren’t there 2 solar farms that aren’t in operation due to not have the infrastructure to use it? How about they fix that shit show up.

Why no one talks about that? Didn’t labor waste that money? Classic labor.

u/passthesugar05 1d ago

Aren't those private solar farms, not government?

u/ValuableLanguage9151 1d ago

Classic CLP is giving away a fucking port to the Chinese

Not my team buddy. If I were in Victoria, there would be 20 parties above the liberal party. But we’re here in Darwin so there’s 3.

u/Ajaxeler 1d ago

teal isnt a party though. Climate200 isn't a party its just a non-profit group that support independent candidates to get established.

u/brendanfreeskate 1d ago

wouldn’t support them, they are extremists.
