I am the Kat that Walks By Itself

Thanks for that explaination. I knew you had an election running and that it wasn't as simple as our First past the post.

I had never heard about the above and below the line before, I can see the drawbacks and possible advantages from your explanation.

I think we should have compulsary voting as well. Not because people fought and died to get you the right to vote, but how can you complain if the people you don't like got in and you couldn't be bothered to vote the other way.
