Queensland election 2009

……CHOOSE…….

The Borg [in full intellectual stride.] Or  Bligh [I'm scared too.]

Apparently there’s an election in a week. Quick! Decide!

I’m actually happy with the way it’s gone down because the biggest problem I have with elections is the incredibly drawn-out campaign process. What a waste of time and resources.

As for my weapon of choice, Borg/Bligh, I can’t bring myself to vote for either.

Like many other Queenslanders I’m a little disgruntled with the sitting government. They’ve proven a special kind of ineptitude I assumed only possible under the administration of a bunch of .. monkeys? Five year olds? No, that would be unfair to the animals and kids. Health scandal, power station scandal, grand plans for gross environmental vandalism, not to mention exorbitant spending on patronising PR campaign after patronising PR campaign.

So yeah, I’m pretty pissed. I’d like to get some revenge at the polls, however it involves me voting for this guy

The Borg actually seems like an okay guy. It’s more his cronies and their collective ideology that bothers me. The Liberal and National parties in Queensland have such a ridiculous history, and even though they’ve had over a decade to think about why everyone hated them, I’m pretty sure they haven’t evolved sufficiently to be a viable alternative government in modern Australia.

I would like to give the Borg the vote just because he tries so hard, and face it, he’s hilarious. But if, in the incredible scenario where the LNP somehow pulls off a win next week, they won’t deserve it. It won’t be anything to do with them or their policies. It’ll be how much Labor sucks and how sick we all are of seeing Bligh in that hard hat.

Ah well, 1 the greens, blank the rest.
