Election day today

I support all of you's right to vote for whoever you truly feel is best to run this country, as long as you don't make your decision based entirely on selfishness or scare tactics etc.

That said, if you help the Liberals win(*), I will hunt you down and kill you.


(*)This includes not voting, or voting above the line without realising where your prefrences go on a two party preferred basis. I realise that this puts my foreign readers in a difficult bind but that's just the price you pay for being sneaky dirty foreigners isn't it? If I have any underage readers you should go put on a fake moustache and vote anyway.

Further small print: since it seems to have escaped some people: I didn't say that voting Liberal is neccesarily anything other than a reasoned and thoughtful decision made in accordance with that person's values. I have met many intelligent and decent Liberal voters.

...and they will be sorely missed when the revolution comes. (That and the entire CEC. No political party that promotes geometry over algebra can be allowed to survive)

Election line conversation

We're slowly shuffling past the pamphleteers, and were roughly in front of the Liberal woman.

Woman behind me (to another pamphleteer): You know what would actually be practical to give out? Water bottles.
Me: Heh. So any party that gave you a water bottle would get your vote huh?
Her: Well, it would show practical mindedness.
*pampleteers pause*

Liberal woman: ...I have some sprite?
Woman behind me: Um, no thanks.
Me: It was worth a shot, huh?
*liberal woman laughs nervously*

(Rather vaguely remembered from this morning, but that's pretty much what happened. Not intended as propoganda or commentary etc since hey, you've probably voted by now anyway, and I'm not sure there's much of a moral. Well... I have always said Sprite is evil... :) )
