    I’m glad it wasn’t just me that was downvoted for posting this a few days ago. 🤣 Some people here are crazy. Why would you downvote this 🤣?

    Anyways, glad that more people know about this website it’s ace!

      My guess for the downvotes would be that it’s just not feasible to vote for policies unless your views align with one of the two major parties, but as it is we’re all basically stuck with voting tactically. Had the Alternate Vote gone through in 2011 then this site would no doubt be invaluable.

        Under FPTP there is not much use for this site. And while I believe, until proven wrong, that this site was created with the best intentions, the cynic in me thinks it could be a conservative plan to encourage a split in the votes for their opposition.

      I can’t see the up/down ratio on desktop web so I didn’t realise it was receiving downvotes! I dunno what goes through peoples minds when they downvote, it’s something I rarely ever do personally.
