I can't decide (no, not my vote; that is cast in stone): 1. the 'let the Liberals inherit the disaster' hypothesis. This assumes there is a disaster coming. This is not good. It may be true, but it is definitely not good. I don't want John Fucking Howard ramming his bastardry through three years of a recession (and it would be three years, he ain't going nowhere)... OR, 2. The 'last best chance' hypothesis. Well, I do think it's time to stop encouraging the fuckers. A whalloping could only be a good thing, in a lot of ways. A narrow Labor win wouldn't be so great, though. And as melodramatic as it can sound, I do sympathise with those who think the damage this government has done is really serious stuff (not in George Bush territory, but toxic, most definitely). In that regard, every election has been the 'last best chance'. It just becomes a little more urgent every time.
