War Declared - Electoral System our weapon!

With a federal election looming early next year in 2022 it could very well be the most important election of our lives.

Not only is our very liberty at stake but our children's as well.

Regardless of whether one falls for all the lies and hidden truths surrounding the Corona virus itself, surely there isn't anyone alive on the planet anymore who doesn't have some doubts as to the real agenda behind the mandates and corona passports.

Let there be no doubt about it, we are at war and if you think this is not the case then sit back and hold on to your seats as it is about to get very real.

We do still have though, in our power, a way to put a stop to all of this corruption and government bullying and that is with our electoral system.

It has always amazed me how no-one seems to understand how it works and is always afraid to vote for anyone else other than a major party candidate due to the fear of not being able to keep the opposing major party out. That is if you don't vote for a major party you are wasting your vote if the person you vote for doesn't win.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Regardless of whether you have supported the Liberal/National Party or the Labor Party, we have just witnessed them coming together to defeat a bill put forward by Pauline Hanson to defend our freedoms and to put an end to mandates across Australia.

Except for some very courageous politicians in the Liberal and National Party ranks in the Senate, (Liberals Gerard Rennick, Alex Antic, Connie Fierravanti-Wells, National Matt Canavan and LNP Senator Sam McMahon), all other members completely ignored their electorates and voted down Hanson's bill. Rennick and Antic are threatening to not support the federal government in the Senate on any legislation if the vaccine mandates do not end, but the fact remains they are still part of the Liberal and National Party team.

The good news is that you can vote for change without wasting your vote.

Our voting system is the greatest system on the planet.

Let's look at an example of an electorate in the lower house. If your electorate has 11 candidates and they are as follows: 3 are independents, 1 is United Australia Party, 1 is One Nation, with several others of the same ilk and in amongst them is the Labor, Liberals, Nationals and the Greens.

Let's just say that you vote 1 to 10 in this order. Independent, Independent, Independent, One Nation, United Australia Party, The Great Australian Party, Katters Australian Party, Liberal Party, National Party, Labor Party and last The Greens.

Most would not consider voting this way for the very fact that they believe they would be wasting their votes if their Independent didn't get up.

The facts are that not only is it not wasted but each time any of your first choice candidates fail to cross the line then your preferences down the ballot become the same as if they were given the number 1 from the start.

So in this example lets just say that none of the first seven candidates were successful at gaining 50% of the votes plus 1.....that is your votes from 1 through to 7 failed to win. Your preference you had at number 8 automatically becomes the same as if you had given him a 1 at the very beginning. So in this example, the Liberal Party would be given your first preference vote should any of your previous preferences fail to win.

So how amazing is that? Nowhere on earth to my knowledge, does any country go to the trouble to give it's people such power at the voting booths.

Our next election is crucial as I said previously.

Please, please, please do not miss this opportunity to tell the people who are currently turning this country into not only a joke but into another North Korea or China, that you will not tolerate this shredding of our Australian culture and the goodwill that we have grown up in and want our children to experience also.

Don't let them pull the wool over your eyes. Stop what they are doing to our society and to our children's future.

You can stop this very simply, by having faith in our electoral system.

Put the major parties last on the ballot paper. Trust me, it is not a wasted vote but it could very well be the most important vote you ever get to make in your life time.

Craig Kelly, the leader of the United Australia Party, has taken on the whole of parliament on our behalf and needs our support. The United Australia Party is standing a candidate in every electorate in the country and they deserve our support. By placing a 1 next to their candidate does not mean your vote is wasted if they are not successful as I have said, but if we all know this and vote accordingly then they will be successful and what better message to deliver to these cowards in our current parliament than the message of defeat for them.

And remember, in the Senate, it is crucial that the likes of One Nation are successful in winning as many positions as possible throughout the country. Pauline Hanson and Malcolm Roberts haven't taken a backward step since our Governments push to take away our freedoms has become clear.

Remember, this is the most important election you will ever get to vote in and please think of our kids when you do so. We cannot afford to put a 1 next to a major party. Please go to the polling booths with courage in your hearts and be strengthened by the knowledge that together we can win, divided we will surely fall.
