voting in australia (Score 1)

we have two major parties, liberal and labour. We all know that one of these two "candidates" will get in. So we have a primary and a secondary vote on our voting cards. We vote for our first choice, and then our second choice. Once the top two candidates are selected (liberal and labour everytime!), everybody elses primary votes (democrats, greens, etc etc) are split up on their seconday votes and added into the top two candidates tally. so I could say vote "Democrats" for the primary and "Liberal" for the secondary. When it was obvious the Democrats wouldn't get in, then my vote would count as a Liberal vote. Maybe the states should do something similar.... would solve the problems because u would have a clear leader by now.
