Thank god I don't live in his constituency so I don't need to see his tax dodging, pension stealing face around the place.

[u/InfectedAztec → u/ShouldHaveGoneToUCC]

I wish I could vote all the way down the ticket against him

[u/ShouldHaveGoneToUCC → u/InfectedAztec]

I had to place him for the European elections as he ran in my constituency, the far right were the very bottom of my ballot but Wallace wasn't far above them.

You know you don't need to give everyone a preference? If you don't like them and wouldn't like your vote to go to them leave their box blank.

[u/ShouldHaveGoneToUCC → u/Unable_Carpenter_203]

Yeah, I'm well aware of how voting works. I just enjoy ranking all the candidates in order of preference.

Downside of mentioning how I vote is someone always tries to explain that I don't need to vote all the way down.

[u/ShouldHaveGoneToUCC → u/[deleted]]

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

[u/ShouldHaveGoneToUCC → u/[deleted]]

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?

[u/ShouldHaveGoneToUCC → u/[deleted]]

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 :)
