Comment on Labor’s landslide victory obscures a disturbing trend for the major parties
ziltoid101@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoBills still have to get through the senate to get passed at least, so the party with a lower house majority still does have to cater to that third option somewhat.

Somewhat, but it’s on,y to get one or two votes, despite there being a third of the electorate favouring an option that is not big 2. There is some myth about lack of stability if the minor parties have more power. I wouldn’t exactly call the changing of pm by both major parties stable. Coalitions keep power in check and don’t allow them to take voters for granted.
