      I wouldn’t say that, every vote for the greens pushes both parties in that direction because it lets them know that’s where they need to go to win votes.

      They call it a protest vote, and protest can be an effective means of long term change and signalling to the powers that be.

      Protest voting does a lot more than it’s given credit for.

      Sounds like the Greens did well:

      However, it’s clear the Tasmanian Greens have made significant gains this election — the party could have as many as six seats in the new parliament.

      Sounds like there’s also a chance they’ll help form minority government, which would be pretty much the best result anyone could reasonably have expected.
