    In our country, everyone must vote. You will be fined if you don't unless you have had yourself taken off the Roll by registering with the AEC (Australian Electoral Commission) for a legitimate reason.

    And like a lot of those on here, I'm quite disappointed with the options on offer.....so, it depends on who, and what they stand for. Mostly I have voted Liberal, because they have managed to keep the country on a reasonable financial footing, unlike with Paul Keating and Co. who gave us the "recession the we had to have" with exceedingly high interest rates.

    US Libertarian. I voted for them back in 2016 and 2020. I know they will never win under first-past-the-post, but they represent my values the best.

    Here in Peru, we are a VERY third-world country regarding politics :( Could you imagine that for next year's election, there could be up to FOURTY candidates for president, from different parties?? And from the few I know about, one is a former convicted felon for MURDER. (But some people would vote for him, supposedly so he is hard on crime.)

    So I don't have any strong party to support :(

    I have been an independent for years. The idea of only one party having the right ideas is ludicrous and the reason so many are now having problems. Here in the States, the two main parties worked together to create a bill that would help end the influx of people at our southern border. The third party, or maga party disguised as republicans, told one of the cosponsors if they pushed the bill through they would ruin his career. Then they stand up and claim it is the other guy who is the cause... They also claim that no Republican should ever vote for anything a Democrat suggest... That is not loyalty to a nation, that is loyalty to an individual. And Speaker Johnson, who finally realized the importance of bi-lateral laws, is now in danger of being replace because he passed a bill they didn't want him to.

    Party politics is a religion that overrides logic and all other religions. It is the tool that the wealthy use to control the middle and lower class... If we'd open up all elections to qualified candidates, instead of the way it is set up now, we'd see a lot of people who could help our country... But most refuse to bow to the party itinerary.

    Not sure if most political parties translate well into other countries. So without knowing which country everyone is from it is hard to understand what party you mean. I am from the Netherlands and I vote for a green party.

    My political leanings are centrist with a touch of liberal. I am disenchanted with one party, and disgusted by the other, so the reputation of local candidate plays an important role.

    BTW, I was amused to see my political leaning captured fairly well by www.politicalcompass.org/test :D

    So ...what you are saying is: You would want a proven Fraudulent Felon to be running your country..?? One who only gives tax relief to the rich, and who won't do anything about ensuring the security of your Borders, and who like to be good friends with the enemies of your Country, and who thinks that your countries Armed Service personnel are losers...?? One who has been Bankrupt several times, and is very likely t

    pj73nicks Picture is worth 1000 words - even phallicly

    Not a fan of either but the choice is easy ... choice has been easy for 9 years now and it gets easier every day

    that said, the other candidate is too old and should no thave run for re-election and let somebody younger try to win the nomination. that said, can't vote for the other guy -he is horrible
