Not sure this really is perverse, isn't the system working as intended? Eg an electorate that is progressive - but also has relatively more than some areas LNP voters who would prefer ALP to Greens as their least-worst option - so is more likely to get an ALP member - sounds intuitively just.
Well, this is not my words or analysis but I do agree with you. (Though equally I reckon the author can be forgiven for bad wording in a very late night wrap up post.) But it is an interesting explanation of some of what happened.
That’s right. Also (take it from an ALP supporter with vivid memories of ‘98, ‘01, ‘04, …, I know it when I see it) this is loser talk. “Maybe if the rules were less unfair or the media was less biased or …” Yeah nah, if the greens had a more coherent message then more people would vote for them
