Very safe labor seats like Grayndler (inner west sydney), Sydney and Melbourne actually have higher than average incomes and housing prices. Similarly, the richest electorate in Australia, Wentworth, is held by the liberals by a relatively slim margin. Hard to work out a clear trend really. But still correct to say the poorest people tend to vote labor.
Liberal party is perceived as being the selfish party, ALP less so, and the Greens at the other end of the spectrum. People will rarely switch over to the Greens without also preferencing the ALP (even when the Greens have run split tickets the preferences still flow 80%+ to Labor).zimmerman8k said:Yeah obviously, but it still translates to votes for labor, they are choosing to preference ALP ahead of libs.
Plus I don't think you can brush it all off as middle class guilt. The greens seems to be the only political force with any power that gives a fuck about our civil liberties.

HEMP, you mean? they ran a candidate called Guy Freemarijuana in the 07 state upper house election, but i'm fairly certain they didn't run in the federal election, at least not in nsw.zimmerman8k said:Is the Australian Marijuana Party still around. They probably make the most sense of an party.

They didn't contest the 2007 federal election, as they failed the membership test for re-registration prior to the election.zimmerman8k said:Is the Australian Marijuana Party still around. They probably make the most sense of an party.
