unfortunately in my electorate i didn't have a representative for the "star trek federation of planets" otherwise i would have voted for them.
normally ( since i can remember ) the greens state where thier preferences will go, but this time they didn't.
my electorate also change the GRID, so people were moved into different electorates !
what pisses me off is some of liberals ideas were good, some of labours ideas were good, but they also had sh*t ideas, there seems to be a total lack of good candidates these days.
my present and now re elected guy is a TOTAL wanker, egotist, and pretends to be an "all smiles" guy but he is a lier.
i think our system has gotten to the stage where we all vote for the person we hate least......... and thats sad
WHY can not some one just come out and say, " you know what...... we are going to do/change this and this but actually the other parties idea about THAT is pretty damn good "
and bring it all together? win win ?
and then the hypocrits get into power and say " we have to stop duopolies in business " when they themselves are !!!!
