To celebrate Flux getting their name change past WAEC, let us discuss the other party this year making a last minute name change.

Flux were originally formed to contest the 2016 federal election. They are one of two microparties (the other being Senator Online) who have essentially the same platform: what if you could just directly vote on what your representative senator does? I think everyone has, at one time or another, fantasised about ensuring that your representative does what you want. Flux promises you a way to do exactly that.

( Policy Analysis )

Any Predictions?

We do! Presumably the VOTEFLUX people would have a response determined by public vote through their app. Couldn't see that going wrong at all.

So cynical, we are. Even more cynical than Flux are about the name change. Flux have not expressed an opinion on COVID on their website as far as I can tell.


Is this party trying to kill me?

No. They’d need to have a policy first.


Is this party trying to harm me?

Only in terms of “tearing my hair out over their techbro ‘brilliant idea’ of how to fix democracy”.


Conclusion

This is a cheap, cynical ploy from Flux to try and get more votes because currently, for some reason, not enough people seem to think their brilliant “let’s just crowdsource it” solution to coming up with policies is the right way to go about representing a community. So they’re going to try tricking less-tuned in voters into voting for them.

I would put these hucksters below the actual Liberals on the ballot. They’re still ahead of the right wing nutjob faction, but only because of the likelihood that crowdsourced opinions will probably not be quite as awful as say GAP’s position on most things. But who knows?
