1. SFFP do not run a candidate for every seat. If your only choice was this new Party, ALP, LNP who would you vote for??
2. Clearly, there are some who still haven't got the memo, it is the voter who decides where preferences go, not the Partys.

It would appear that is how the SFFP may be dealt with in Qld.
Unfortunately anything political coming out of se qld is viewed by the rest of the state as toxic until they prove otherwise. The push to "Boot Brisbane" is definitely gaining traction up this way.

Her surname, which is Ukrainian in origin, was once pronounced to me by a native Ukrainian speaker and your rendition is a reasonable approximation of the correct pronunciation of her surname.
The fact that it is now rendered in a French sounding pronunciation, resembling neither it's original pronunciation nor the transliterated English of the Cyrillic written version, gives an indication of the chameleon like character of politicians.

If there was no SFFP candidate to vote for, I would vote for another independent before the major parties, and NEVER the green. Last state election, everyone I know, and a few besides, all voted one nation. Rebel gun works even had a push on for them because of labor talking about implementing ammo limits . I can’t believe one nation did so poorly when everyone I talk to says they voted for them. After some of the scandals and rigging coming out about labor and ugly Anna palace-chook coming out, I gotta wonder if they rigged the last state elections. They had a phone poll about renaming a children’s hospital which is gunna cost the taxpayers about 1.6 million to do. Because it was named by qld’s last liberal leader. Turns out the majority of the calls in the vote came from a few government offices, and ugly Anna won’t reveal who’s behind it. On top of that, a contract for making new passenger trains is going overseas instead of being made here. I think ugly Anna is cashing in because this is going to be her last term in office. Bloody politicians

Sadly that won't happen and all they will do is keep bitching about how bad things are yet they never seem to get the fact they contributed to that fact because they keep voting Lab or Libs, bunch of retarded f***s that they are!

My comment wasn't an expression of sympathy for the Greens, I would have thought the "rabid vegan" reference would have illustrated that but never mind.
My point was about preferences. The Green with 13% was defeated by another micro party candidate with 1.26%, by preferences.
That's all.
