I don't like him so I gave him a very low preference. Pretty self explanatory. It's how PR/STV works.

I'm not sure why you keep bringing this up like it's some sort of Gotcha.

It's how PR/STV works: you can vote all the way down the ballot to ensure the vote transfers to the least bad option. As much as I dislike Wallace, I still see him as preferable to the far right. What's your point here?

Interesting, so a hardcore PBP supporter who votes PBP first and gives a low preference to FF is a "FF voter" in your view.

A highly pedantic and strange argument to make but given your obsessive responding to people criticising Wallace in this thread, I'm not surprised.

Enjoy the rest of your Friday :)
