I'm impressed at your research, and sad that you have to do that safety calculation. :(
I am SO FUCKING MAD at my country and its politics, but I really love our electoral system - both the compulsory voting and the preferential voting.
I'm going to go vote tomorrow (state election) and my calculations will take the form of who to vote first, who to vote next, who to vote last, and how to order the long tail of fundamentalist, libertarian, or white-supremacist parties just ahead of who to vote last.
(Sadfax: a lot of ordinary Australian voters - maybe even the majority - either do not understand how preferential voting works or don't know we have it. Civics: not a thing we do well.)
