Happy cake day!

I’m curious, do you vote below the line because you vote in a way that has to be BTL, or just because you’re used to it from the old GVT days? Personally I’ve not done it since 2016, because for the most part I trust each party’s internal ordering of their candidates.

But damn, if I were a Western Australian, and Payman were still in Labor, and she were still preselected in the 2028 election (that’s a lot of ifs), I would definitely be voting BTL just to support her. Not sure if I’d vote her 1, then Greens just as a way to provide maximal support for her bravery, or vote Greens first, then her, then the rest of Labor, in a more honest assessment of my political views (disregarding my vote for other smaller parties before and in between Greens & Labor).
