Optional preferencing, why hasn't that set the socials on fire! That'll lead to disenfranchisement through neglect of less civically focused population segments. I can't even see it being good for lib/nats just reduces democratic participation for those who might need a nudge to be more engaged.
That might bite them on the arse!
Hmm, LGA elections are hard because they're already optional, so its generally the more active voters that participate. Most active often goes hand in hand with most partisan. But as you say, definitely indicative. And all the more reason to not wish for their return!
