    People always say their vote doesn’t matter, but in this case they are quite literally right.

      It could have consequences politically going forward (the strong inner city/outer suburb divide for example), but not directly yeah.

      It’s only 5:30 here in WA. Results have been known for over an hour. Polls are still open for another half an hour.

      I get why people are voting: they have to or will get a fine. What I don’t understand is why people are still handing out ‘Vote Yes/No’ flyers. What is the point in that?

        The outcome still has potential to sway politicians I suppose. If it’s closer than they expect, some will have to tread more carefully and make some concessions, or risk losing their seat next election.
