Saturday Poll

My call to you today (if you're a Victorian) is simply to ask you to vote for the party which will represent your views in parliament. You weren't born yesterday. You know what they stand for.

  • If you're a progressive, please vote for the ALP. That's the only way for left-wing issues (social justice, looking after the environment, public transport, public education, public health etc) to get a real hearing in parliament and not be constantly shut down by the Greens.

  • If you're a middle-of-the-line voter, and want a government that sort of cares about social justice issues, is better than the alternative on the environment, and is otherwise generally politics-as-usual, please vote for Labor and (if you're concerned about social justice and the environment and the state not being run by hardline religious conservatives) preference the Greens.
  • If you are a religious conservative who wants Australia run according to the dictates of the leaders of the Assemblies of God (because you reckon Jesus cared more about the things he didn't actually ever talk about - gays, abortion etc - than the things he did repeatedly - helping the poor etc), please vote for Fundamentalists First. ("Bring Australia into the 14th Century!", as they say.)

  • If you're an economic and social conservative who's most worried about making sure big business gets as much help from the Government as possible and everyone else as little as possible, please vote for the ALP.

  • If you want to shoot stuff MORE THAN ANYTHING, please vote for Country Alliance.

  • If you simply can't decide what you think about anything, please vote for the Democrats.

They're nice people, at least.I'll see you on the hustings!
