Disinformation and the tyranny of officialdom

Abstract

In a recent article, I argued there is a historical rule that the Coalition wins government when it scores more than 41 per cent of the primary vote and scores more primary votes than Labor plus the Greens. For conservative voters intent on electing the Coalition, I therefore opined that they should not rely on their preference votes to oust the current Labor government. Some disagreed with my analysis, expressing their views on X (formerly Twitter). This is entirely their right in a liberal democracy, but to disagree with my opinion does not mean that what I wrote amounts to ‘disinformation’.
