    Hence in the upcoming election preference LNP/ALP last. The C-class of these companies will coordinate with these political parties to reduce the influence of employees in the workplace, so they can exploit the excess productivity for there own personal gain.

      We have preferential voting for a reason (except for literal Nazis), the major parties should always be last on everyone’s ballot.

      It should be;

      1. Someone I agree with
      2. Someone I agree with on a lot of issues but not quite everything.
      3. ditto
      4. ditto
      5. Greens, unless the candidate is a complete hippy fucktard that doesn’t know how economics works.
      6. Shit Lite party
      7. Shit party.
      8. Yellow Shitstain
      9. Literal Nazis.

      Just make sure you put Labor ahead of the LNP and cooker parties since they will be objectively worse. But otherwise, agreed.

          afaik, ‘cooker’ has risen as a slang term for the wackier conspiracy theorists:

          From Wiktionary:

          1. (slang, Australia) A person who makes or uses illicit drugs, especially methamphetamine or cannabis.
          1. (slang, derogatory, Australia) A person who is cooked in the head; a crazy person.
          2. (slang, derogatory, Australia) A conspiracy theorist, especially one who is involved in politics.

          Cooker parties means there can be independent parties with uh… fringe beliefs that you may not align with. So it’s good to do research on each party or candidate

          eureka explained it well, but my slighter broader definition is:

          • Anti-vaxxer and other single-issue conspiracy parties
          • Religious right parties with sometimes innocuous names (like “Family first”)
          • Nazis

        Though put the Greens ahead of Labor. Labor losing seats to the Greens, and having to depend on the Greens to govern, is a realistic possibility, and Greens MPs holding their feet to the fire could provide a counterbalance to the revolving door to corporate Australia.
