Compare how Karen McNamara and Darren Chester voted on Senate electoral reform
Karen McNamara
Former Liberal Party Representative for Dobell September 2013 – July 2016
Darren Chester
National Party Representative for Gippsland since June 2008
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should change the laws governing Senate elections to allow voters more direct control over the flow of preferences, whether they vote above or below the line
Now this is where it gets a bit tricky… Two people might vote the same way on votes they both attended, so their votes are 100% in agreement. They might also have voted in a way we’d describe differently when looking at all of one person's votes. If the other person didn’t or couldn’t have attended those votes we leave those out of the comparison. Because that just wouldn’t be fair now, would it?
