Sure, but what’s the alternative? I’d prefer someone does something, rather than we just thrown our collective hands up at the apparent pointlessness of it all and declare it all impossible. I’ll take a slight nudge of the needle over fuck all any day of the week.
The alternative would be the Greens. Even if they don’t get a majority, voting and supporting the Greens is important in showing Labor that they have a serious threat facing them from the left.
Sure, a nudge of the needle is better than nothing, but it’s not even close to enough to save us. You may as well be arguing “sure everyone is starving but eating old newspapers is better than nothing, even if the wealthy are still throwing lavish banquets every day”.
With preferential voting, there’s simply no excuse for putting such mediocrity at the top. All you’re doing is propping up their system that simply teeters between “more greed for the wealthy” and “slightly less greed foemen the wealthy” until it finds the maximum amount of psycopathic neoliberalism that the public will tolerate.
OK, sure, but what’s your solution? What should we be doing instead of these new efficiency standards that can’t be done in addition to them? I don’t disagree with your frustrations, but it’s easy to say something is not good enough without also providing something that is.
