Only one more sleep to go. Only one more sleep till you cast your vote and we find out who our PM is. Will it be Julia Gillard? Will it be Tony Abbott?
Whomever it is I just hope you vote properly and ignore the advice of that idiot Mark Latham who urged us all so eloquently and with a sledgehammer to vote informally. What a mockery that makes of every person who has ever fought for democracy. And as I’ve said before, no vote no right to whinge. And we all want the right to whinge, don’t we.
So I’m pretty glad it’s coming to a close. I’ll be able to go back to blogging about celebrity crap and other meaningful topics. There are a few things I won’t miss about this election so I thought I’d make a list.
- I won’t miss the term budgie smugglers. I hate that term. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. They are called dick stickers.
- I won’t miss the rude way that people refer to Julia Gillard as the redhead. She is the Prime Minister and it is insulting to objectify her by her hair colour. Do people do this because she is a woman? We didn’t call Kevin Rudd the blonde–that would be silly.
- I won’t miss Kevin Rudd’s petulant face that cameras flash to whenever Julia Gillard speaks. Oh diddums–pick up that bottom lip.
- I won’t miss Mark Latham. Please climb back under that rock from whence you came.
- I won’t miss the political ads. What’s black, white and red all over? An ALP or Coalition ad. They’re almost so alike they’re interchangeable. Bring back fast food and car ads.
- I won’t miss Julia’s kissathons. Babies, school children, workmen, old people, hairdresser boyfriends. Julia kisses them all. It is unfair to Tony Abbot because he would end up in jail if he were to do the same.
- I won’t miss the crap I keep receiving from my local member who urges me, as a fellow union member to vote for him. Piss off–we have no connection. I also get annoyed because all the letters have to be shredded to protect my personal details. Bloody pest.
But I’ll tell you what I am looking forward to–the sausage sizzle and cake stall at the local primary school where the polling booths are. That’s my election highlight. Oh that and running the gauntlet of the volunteers handing out how to vote cards. Watch the appalling behaviour of people–it’s shocking, particularly the old people–they get really feisty. That’s really entertaining. Image
