Election

[Throwdown!]

simplisticaly speaking, if 50% voted Labor and 50% voted Liberal, does that mean that 100% of us dont like the policies of either side? TIC.

Yes!

It's often pointed out that the majority of the people never vote for the UK government - usually something like 37% will get you in. Our preferences system gets around that a bit, but effectively gives some people 2 votes which goes against the democratic notion of 'one man (or woman since the 20 century), one vote'. Nothing's perfect in politics, eh?

Anyone else as excited as I am about the dead heat election?
Love it!!

Now, at this time and bearing in mind the ramifications of his advice - what do you do with a burnt out has been of an ex leader of the Labor party who suggested to all and sundry that they make no vote marks on their ballot papers?
He is to blame for this advice to the Australian People not to vote at all. The AEC should be taking him to account for his suggestion.

Just another bottom feeding ex-poly with his snout in the public purse.

That latham dipshit would not be suitable for a lavartory cleaning job let alone a political reporter and if there was any justice in this country he should be charged as I could have been if I did not vote,instigating of any sort on a mass level is no joke and this sore loser should be dealt with accordingly.
