Removed Comment Australia doesn’t have a winner take all system though. Voting is compulsory, and uses a Single Transferable Vote system called preferential voting.
This means that if your preferred candidate doesn’t get 50% of the vote in the first count, your vote transfers to your second choice candidate, and then your third, and so on until someone is elected. by TheFermentalist @reddthat.com reason: Misinformation

Banned orioler25 @lemmy.world from the community reason: Vote manipulation via alt account verified (lemmy.world account upvoting lemmy.ca comments). This violation is separate from the political discussion, which did not constitute bad faith. Using multiple accounts to manipulate vote counts violates community standards regardless of discussion content.

Unbanned orioler25 @lemmy.world from the community reason: Upon review: User engaged in substantive political debate with forceful but academically grounded arguments. No evidence of bad faith engagement or verifiable vote manipulation beyond mutual downvoting in heated exchange. Political disagreement, however sharp, does not constitute rule violation. Ban escalation from 30 days to permanent was not warranted.
