Comment on Australia 2025 – Wrap-up of the night
maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone 1 day agoFor the lower house I was thinking of something more like multi-member proportional voting with some sane thresholds that candidates have to meet to get elected. So for example in seats like Wills the community is represented by the two candidates that the community overwhelmingly favoured and who basically got the same amount of votes.

I think there needs to be a winner, otherwise nothing gets done, and the government system is already very inefficient in this regard. On the far end of this scale, every person votes on every bit of legislation, but in the end it will usually wash out the same only with the added overhead.
It’s fun to theory craft. But the stark reality here is it’s probably impossible to pass a referendum that changes any of this.

A referendum would be required?
