I seriously hate to ask this, but I've just got to: why the preference deal with Family First? That's what lost the Dems my second preference. (Okay, apart from the GST, the shoddy way the party dealt with Natasha, and the fact that it's historically the party of disenchanted Liberals, anyway, and therefore too far right for me to begin with...)

I wanted to ask the Democrat candidate who was at the polling booth this morning, but I didn't want to get into an argument with him...
