Well we’re a week out and for those considering voting below the line I’ve already covered most of the minor parties (and Antony Green has an excellent guide to below the line voting here) However there’s a whole bunch of single issue parties to add to the menagerie of minor parties running on the NSW
2013 Federal Election: Minor Parties Vote Compass

ILHC and Electoral Systems
Well it’s been nearly 6 months since my last post here and I thought I should get it back going again. I was going to post something about teaching swing dance in Nepal, a recipe for vegetable curry or something similarly relevant but then the ILHC scores came out. Now for those of you who
