TCBH Endorses
Mnay people say that in the modern political environment the two major parties are substantially the same- and there is an argument for saying they are right. Some shading around the edges on "choice", privatisation and the providing of oral pleasure to major foreign powers is pretty much all there is.
Where the two parties differ significantly is one has a plan for replacing their leader in a seamless fashion and one doesnt yet - and if i may rephrase a slogan from a previous campaign in description, "The LiberalParty will decide when we get the hell rid of Howard and when we will do it" ...This election is not about winners and losers. This election is about getting rid of Howard cos he is a turgid git whose wife makes him dress up in pink lace panties and do the hoovering. The rest of the time he pretends he is responsible for running the country ...
Although I would prefer to see Labor and Latham win, i recall before Latham's ascenscion late last year saying the country may not be ready for him yet - and maybe they're not and more like they just don't know they areor more like 25,000 marginal seat voters can't be convinced the world is a different place than when Keating was in - we have the internet now and camera phones and Paris Hilton and Mary Donaldson.
I still think Labor deserve credit for their balls. This credit may not translate into victory tomorrow but stranger things have happened ..in any case, I endorse Labor. They are the best chance of getting rid ofHoward. I also lean towards them philosophically. I half endorse the Greens. For similar reasons. I one tenth endorse the Coalition. Because if they win it means we are that little bit closer to getting rid of Howardand perhaps getting Costello ( If we get Abbot all bets are off ) who i don't object half as much to. Mainly cos he's a Republican and i could put up with anything if we were a Republic .. but i digress.
In short, in this great Democracy of ours, we will all be winners tomorrow.
And there will be sausages.
