Hi all, does anybody bother about the way we vote here in Victoria? I find it quite ridiculous that someone can cast a vote just because he owns a property in the area or is representing a company owning a property. Well, AFAIK, the "one man one vote" is one of the basic democratic principles people were fighting for - and it does not apply to the state of Victoria. I am owning a property ca. 30km away from my home - I have no idea about the way people live there, what they are talking about, the local issues, the people that stand for election - I just don't live there. Who can I make an informed decision about the ability of local candidates and what they present? The same goes for any owner or company representive - if you don't live there, you don't have a clue what's important to the people. Governments represent people not businesses. Is this actually legal? No wonder that we end up with a city mayor who is licensing buskers.. Besides, it seems that the Australians on the other side of the Murray are having a "one man one vote" system. Regards Peter
