After enduring months of the phoney election campaign, the runners are out of the traps and hurtling towards May 6 & Election Day. I say ‘meh …’ I really don’t care: I’m bored, frustrated, angry, confused. At this moment, I really don’t think I want to vote: seems to me the best choice = no choice = no vote. In fact, there should be a none of the above option.
Fact is, I don’t believe any of them; their words are at best shallow, at worst, weasel words & not one of the smiling, sycophantic, smarming lot of them deserve my enfranchised, democratic cross on the ballot paper.
I probably will vote but my vote will be a protest against the so-called mainstream. It may be a wasted vote but that is my democratic right. So, Monster Raving Looneys, Greens, Free the Wallabys … Whichever fringe party takes my fancy on the day may, just may, get my mark.
