1900

That is how many votes one party apparently got to win a Senate seat and possibly be able to decide on yours and my future. 

29% of the votes is all one sitting mp  got yet he will now win his seat.... 

Now I really do not mind anyone winning a seat... congratulations... BUT I feel there is a major flaw in the system when not only does 1900 votes gets you a seat at the major decision making table and just over 1/4 of the votes wins you a seat when the other person gets over 40% of the votes. 

Is it time we change to first past the post or is this preferential system a good thing and allows micro parties to have a say?

Hope Cathy wins. Mirrabella needs to go.
