politics

Yes, yes dirty word but I'm absolutely loving the WA election at the moment.

All I can think is that it's just a real life example of the saying "Be careful who you step on on the way up because you'll be passing them on the way down." Okay, okay so I'm just paraphrasing it but you get the point.

The Liberals would have a minority government if they hadn't pissed off the Nationals. Just shows the perils of being too cocky and thinking that you don't need anyone.

The swing against Labor towards the Greens also means that finally after so many years my cunning plan may finally come to fruition.

People always question why I vote Greens as my first preference and then select who I actually want to govern second because we all know that the Greens were never going to get in. Basically it's because I want the major powers to realise that if they want my primary vote that they need to act more green in their legislation and actions.

It's been quoted on the Teev that there was a 4% swing against Labor towards the Greens which is a lot of votes. Obviously some of it is going to be the left-wing Labor that feel that Labor has gone way too right for them to stay within the party but a girl can dream about more environmental legislation as her lonesome vote is courted.

Oooh and now I get to help vote Brumby out! He has earned my ultimate hate with that retarded 2am lockout shit. I don't care if it's finished - he's an idiot.
