Vote below the line campaign (cont.)

The group voting tickets for the 2007 Federal election are now available on-line at the AEC website, and I urge anyone who has read my previous post on the topic of voting below the line and is still thinking of voting above the line to download the group voting ticket for their own state to see just how their preferences are being re-distributed. Even if you are going to vote below the line, it is good to have a look at who different parties are preferring. As I take a quick look over the Victorian paper, I can't help but wonder at some of the deals that must have gone on under the hood, or even at the reason that some of the parties even exist in the first place.
