I'm more interested in preferential balloting if the party I vote for isn't the government.

I don't think I'm the only one.

THe other thing about preferential balloting that people tend to ignore in this debate, is the fact that it creates a preferential list within political parties, which causes all sorts of additional politicking and patronage within the parties as they horse trade certain candidates to the top of some list. This in turn creates larger numbers of people within the parties who are now politicians. Not to mention I'm tired of the perpetual election campaigns, which again would only be made worse by the jockeying within parties to formulate that list.



I'm not really interested in getting larger government (in one form or another)
