ALP members annoy me the most because they almost seem proud of their party's factionalism and infighting. They seem frequently incapable of uniting against a common foe, or recognising when it's necessary to put aside minor differences for broader benefit. No doubt this in large part stems from the party's identity crisis regarding whether it is a social progressive political party or a party of the working class.
By the way, Cobbler, if you were planning to vote above the line for Phil Cleary in Voice for the West, think again. Their preferences are dodgy as fuck. No Smart Meters (conspiracy theorists and people paranoid of change) and Family First get really high preferences, while the bottom four parties are, in order, the Sex Party, the Greens, the ALP, and the Libs. The fifth seat in Northern Metropolitan will likely be a battle between No Smart Meters, Family First, and the Sex Party, and all votes above the line for Voice for the West will go first to No Smart Meters, then if required to Family First, and will probably never reach the Sex Party, let alone the Greens or the ALP.
However, voting below the line in Victorian state elections is much easier than in federal elections. You don't need to number all candidates; as long as you number at least five, your vote is valid. So you could vote 1 for Phil Cleary, totally ignore the other Voice for the West candidate if you wish, go say 2-3 for the Sex Party, 4-9 for the Greens, and 10-14 for the ALP, and just leave it there. Or whatever. I'm just guessing what may be relevant to your interests.
