This is not something our electoral system is designed to account for. There is nothing stopping a bunch of Zionists from registering a political party called 'Free Palestine' and direct all their preferences to a cause at complete odds with what voters expect they will be supporting.

I bet there'd be some sort of ramifications if someone registered the name 'new libs' and redirected all preferences to Labor or Greens.
