Finally: Booths. I don’t know exact booths, but I think Melbourne Town Hall, Richmond, Carlton, Brunswick, Coburg, Preston, South Yarra and St Kilda will have high yield booths - lots of young hipsters looking for non ALP options. Yarraville and Seddon are maybe options too. Interested to hear what people think.
Go for it, extending beyond the tech circles is always good and can pay off in unexpected ways. We received some good feedback last time when speaking at an Amnesty/Asylum Seekers event at Federation Square the week before the last election (well, Joe did the speaking, I was chatting with the people at the Amnesty booth).
The tech stuff is high on our agenda because of the way the party started, but as with our expanding policy set, anything which can be drawn back to the Bill of Rights policy is fair game. As it happens, there is a great deal which can be drawn back to that policy.
Hey, I just downloaded the csv to check it out. Unless something has gone wrong, rows 15-1397 have the same numbers for every party? That is too much a coincidence…was there an accidental fill down?
That’s pretty awesome. We seem to do relatively well in pre-polling.
I guess we should target the areas with the highest number of votes cast and the lowest Pirate Party proportion.
Or maybe just focus on the highest number of votes cast, independent of Pirate Party votes, as even a relatively high Pirate Party vote leaves a lot of room for improvement, and it might signify a receptive audience.
I’m playing with the numbers now - % of booths for pirates etc. Thanks
