Funny thing happening in Australia at the moment is that analysts are suprised by the millenial generation not shifting conservative as they age, instead holding onto progressive values and its showing in the current political sphere.
Turns out if you take away people futures via income, housing/rent affordability, cost of living, etc that people are actually committed to making change.
An article on the topic if your interested. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11-26/millennials-rewriting-the-rules-of-australian-politics/106050836
Sadly it results in people voting the slightly less rightwing Labor party. Greens are somewhat leftist, but they’re not seeing the gains needed to be influential enough on policy formation.
But the beauty of our preferential voting system is you can keep voting greens #1 and letting your vote flow onto the next best option/s until over time the greens (or your party of choice) can build up numbers to contest as ruling party, and leave the conservatove parties behind. You still get the not-quite-so-shit government in the mean time, but progress is happening.
