The Blog

So, the Election's Heating Up...

John Howard tells us that if we vote for the opposition, it'll mean "change for the worse", while Mark Latham is busy telling us that John Howard is "campaigning on fear". The Greens decided not to hold a Press Conference, and no one knows what the Democrats are smoking. I kinda can't wait until it's over.

I can't help but think that I shouldn't voice political opinion here, because the internet is a public forum, and anyone could read it and bag me out. But that's kinda the way a blog is meant to work, isn't it? It's silly really.

If the truth is told, I don't really care who wins the election on Saturday, so long as John Howard isn't voted back in. He's a complete loser (like most every politician), but he keeps lying and lying to the Australian public, and he's screwing over university students, which is a pity considering how many of them live and study in his own damn electorate.

I mean honestly, I'm not sure Labor will do a better job of running the country, but I can't see how they'd do any worse. For one thing, they really seem to not approve of being Bush's toadies, which is something that Australia does need less of. Which reminds me, wow is he someone who needs to be voted out. You Americans have a choice about whether or not you vote, make it and vote for someone other than Bush. The world will thank you for it.

Actually, I think the best reason for voting someone other than Howard in is that it will bring some sort of balance to Australian politics. The Liberals (the "right-wing" party) have been in too long, and it's starting to take it's toll. In a few years, I'll be encouraging you to vote the other way. It's the way these things should be.


And since I fear I've never blogged this one before, here's a link to John Howard's blog. It's quality reading, especially before the election.
