Update: Election

The election is tomorrow. Now of course, the moment I got home, I turned on 2GB.
Anyway, take a look at these two websites: http://www.morrisiemma.com.au/ and http://www.debnamrecord.com/. Please note that both sites are owned by the NSW ALP, and both sites are filled with steaming mounds of bullshit. I'm going to (try my best) not be biased here, but from using all sources available to me, it seems that Morris Iemma is more full of shit than Peter Debnam. I would also like you to know that Morris Iemma can't pronounce his opposition's name properly. He pronounces it as Peter Deb-eh-nem. Now, if there were a list of top #10 easiest to pronounce names in the world, I would rank Peter Debnam somewhere in the regions of #3, after John Smith and Mark Latham. Now, if Morris Iemma can't pronounce the world's 3rd easiest name, I don't know how he can manage to run a whole state.

Now, there's 16 hours to the election and 2GB tells me that Morris Iemma is nervous (who wouldn't be when you tell that many lies) while Peter Debnam is confident (contrast with nervous). If you have any common sense, I urge you to leave your ballot paper blank when you go to the polls tomorrow. If you want to do one better, nominate yourself for the next election, then vote for yourself, then if you do get in (which is unlikely, since the majority of the voting population will swallow bullshit as truth), then you can act on your own beliefs.

Next problem: how to we prevent the majority of the voting population from swallowing bullshit as truth and voting based on it. As you can see, there are 2 factors: the voting population and the bullshit. Now sure, the politicans could spend more money and churn out more bullshit to counter the other party's bullshit, but that's way too much trouble. I want to point out the only good point of the US: non compulsory voting. That's how we can change the other factor: the voting population. Based on a sample survey done personally by me: 90% of the voting population couldn't give less of a f*** about poiltics and will, once again, make decisions based on bullshit. So instead of forcing uninformed people to vote, why not just let them not have to vote. Then maybe parliament might finally have more non-retarded people.

I don't know how many people out there have watched the Election Debate on Friday 16/02/2006 7:30PM on ABC. Well I did, so I guess that makes me a nerd and a political freak. If you want to watch it (trust me it's good and it's only 45 minutes long), visit http://www.abc.net.au/elections/nsw/2007/default.htm. Scroll down to "Leader's Debate". Remember that both sides bullshit a lot, so exercise common sense while watching it.

In conclusion, I hope that both sides end up with exactly half of the seats. Please comment.
