Elective Durgery

So, PM John Howard has called the federal election for November 24. That's a good date actually; suits me fine, I have nothing else on.

Problem is working out who to vote for, because the next few months will be crazy. Promises will fly everywhere, as will accusations, facts and figures. When I say I wonder who to vote for, what I mean is who I will put second in my preferences. I always vote for Family First as number one, but if that candidate doesn't get in, I've got to decide whether my preferences will go to Liberal or Labour.

How does one decide? Sammy said today that she thinks Kevin Rudd is the best-looking out of the two; I thought that was funny. Needless to say, looks don't concern me at all! (Sammy was joking, of course). The big issues that concern me are abortion (stopping it, that is), the war in Iraq (stopping that too), health care, and freedom (being free to believe what I want, and being able to share that with others).

In any case, elections are fun. I love watching it live on TV as they count the votes and announce the winner. Get the chips out on November 24 folks, this'll be a good one! :)
