Aussie Federal Election
« on: November 22, 2007, 06:30:23 am »
So our federal election is coming up and I figured the most well controlled way of determining the pulse of the Australian public would be to get a bunch of imaginary people to tell me who's going to win. I'd prefer uninformed voting but if some of you actually know anything about the two main contenders I guess it can't be helped.

If some of the infrequent Aussies on the board want to actually discuss the election in a serious manner that would be cool too.

I'm always in favor of any poll option including "ching chong, wing wong."

Which one does Rupert Murdoch own?

Whichever he owns, I vote fer the other one.

Unless he owns both. Then... the taller one.

I googled those two guys, and damn. Y'all have to be able to find some more presidential looking suckers than those two.
I mean. Do not elect my friend's dad to be your president. I do not know what the adjective is, but, this man is an Engineer and has glasses that are too big and is really into being... small and Lutheran and really nice all the time in a way which I feel is related to his small stature and general nerdiness. It is the niceness of knowing that everyone can beat you up.

We like electing the ugly ones around here, they work harder for it. Also a remarkably accurate description just from looking at them.

Yes. That's a campaign slogan we can all get behind.

I had to look them up on Wikipedia, because I am a horrible global citizen and I know nothing about political systems in Other Countries. I should get on the ball and start some learnin'!

Still, I have no idea if I should be in support of the Liberal Party or the Labour Party. Howard is the incumbent, his party (Liberal) wrested power away from the Labour party and his opponent, Kevin Rudd, is with the Labour party.

Doc, who are you voting for?

Well that would be telling, I wanted a completely random poll based on their names...

I'll be voting for Rudd. The Liberal party has done us well economy wise even taking the worldwide boom into account but I'm just becoming more and more frustrated with their foreign and domestic policies. Howard has been a good leader and I've got no major beef with him (though plenty of others do) but he's been there for 11 years now and I think he's getting the old tunnel vision.

Yeah I know but I honestly couldn't think of anything else for him. They both look identical except for aging Johnny by about 20 years.

Maybe I should have made him 'king of munchkin land'?

John Howard - goodriddance.  Now if we can somehow get Stephen Harper voted out.  But that's not going to happen.  Have you seen the opposition leaders these days?  Shit.
