    Careful Australia. Our spineless opposition leader is having another MP resign his seat so he can run in a by-election there. The riding he chose voted 80% Tory.

      That shit mostly doesn’t fly here. Parachute candidates traditionally do very poorly. We have preferential voting and about a 3rd of primary votes go to minor parties, and independents. Protest votes are a big problem for the majors to deal with.
