Election Eve

November 23, 2007 on 2:35 pm | In Uncategorized |

Yet another poll has forecast a Labor win tomorrow.

In response, Mr Howard said he would just have to work harder. Or to be precise:

“I will spend every waking hour between now and six o’clock tomorrow night talking to the Australian people.”

The response of the Australian people is not recorded, but is generally believed to be along the lines of “How about you try listening for once you annoying old man?”

I’ve posted on my underwhelming excitement about the election here, in the unlikely event that anyone’s interested.

  1. Well given it is one of the more widely-read Australian blogs, I’m sure that some people are interested.

    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.
