Uhhh yeah, but the fact that they're still preferencing someone who wanted to hang Dan Andrews is pretty fucking out there.

Nah it's normal like every where else in the world. Even in the UK, Rest of the Europe and around the democracies in the world. On the political scale liberals are still center right. Labour are the real left. It's only skewed in America because the country is so far right and with the cold war era red scarce that they believe anything past Liberal is extremists.

In all honesty, Labor are centre-left. The Greens are the left wing of the mainstream parties. However, they are still capitalist. The actual socialist parties in Australia are all tiny.

It is oniony if you are unaware of just how incompetent the state Liberal party is for Victoria. The Liberal party is a major party, and as such shouldn't be endorsing any candidate calling for murder above other genuine parties.

The Vic Libs are just so incompetent that this headline is just business as usual for those in the know.
