The Family Voting stuff might sound like Trumpian bollocks, but it's TRUE!

Here's how it went down:

MUSLIM WOMAN: I, a Muslim woman, am desperate to vote for Professor Matthew Goodwin, the not-at-all-weird failed academic man who supports white suprematist and genocide and clearly hates women!

MUSLIM MAN: No, you're voting for the gay Jewish man whose party supports trans rights, do it or I won't let you read Matt Goodwin's new book 'Suicide of a Nation'!

And that's why the Greens were able to scrape home with a tiny minority of (checks notes) 4,000 votes.
