Dunno why you’re being down voted

Ah, I have stopped wondering about that ages ago. Must be a Lemmy thing.

Our electoral system is the reason. Only the highest vote percentage gets into government.

Thank you.

Still not enough really get them off the ground, but very much a way to make voices heard without sacrificing a seat in government.

That's great! :-)
