@liamvhogan @ibk yes, I quite understand that preferential voting doesn't strictly split the vote.
However, Labor fucking about on the progressive side of the ledger can and has (and maybe will) result in some janky preference moves taking place.
More than once, Labor has preferenced the Libs above the Greens because they'd rather shoot themselves in the face than give the Greens a chance to work with them. Labor would do that in an instant because 2009.
And of course you’re right, Liam, that no seat goes to a given party by some kind of electoral divine right.
