The Australian Election

So I voted today.

It's quite sad to watch the two largest parties dragging each other down. I prefer to vote for someone with ideals (other than spin and getting elected).

The Liberals seem to be interested almost exclusively in businesses, which tend to be a bit sociopathic in my experience.

Labor are depressing -- they seem confused and quite right-wing. Malcolm Turnbull probably would have saved them, he impressed me on the Chaser last week -- quite statesmanlike, and catching the train! He's not a puppet. Tony Abbott is a bit ridiculous.

The Greens have ideals, but no-one really knows what they'd be like in government.

With any luck Conroy will be dumped.
