Better marketing?
Marketing 101: Sex sells.

Ldp>shooters & fishers...>nationals>liberals>...... Labor>greens.... the 20 or so socialist parties

I think it's better to vote for as many 3rd parties as you can stomach before the big guys. We have a preferential voting system, we should make use of it.

I don't know much about Australia but many Americans are very uptight about sex.

The ones who aren't spend more time fucking than voting.

Anyway for various reasons I decided to vote early at the early voting center in Frankston. So I can say I have voted 1 for the Australian Greens and preferenced Labor ahead of the Coalition.

Australian sex party for me(if they have a candidate in my area. And if they don't I might run for them next election)

Totally gone off Abbot and the Liberal party, since they apparently have become a front for the Catholic Church and Rupert Murdoch.

I am lucky in my electorate because there is an Australian Sex Party member running for the house of reps. I will be for the first time voting under the line in the senate election, 110 preferences, shit.

Edit: Thanks also to Justristo for the link to the Australian Sex Party. I certainly do like their policies.

Holy fucking christ how have I not put the sex party higher on my vote before now? Tongue

Well, I can't stomach putting the coalition anywhere near the top spot, so... hey.
