What I obviously meant to say was:
“Hail to our New Liberal Lizard Overlords. I bow down before you, a humble servant.
Please don’t report me to the Internet Police for daring to hold an unfortunate minority view.
I welcome this new age of hating everybody equally.”
I love you. you make me smile 🙂
People get so riled up during elections and it often seems to spill over into personal attacks. Personally, Abbott scares the hell out of me, as do any politicians, including many of our own, who package their sense of gender/racial/ethnic superiority into a slick message and sell it as something other than it is.
I have ranted my head off on Twitter about the stupid bloody election (don’t think I lost any followers, but it wouldn’t surprise me if I did).
I have wanted to engage in heated arguments all over the place but have tried really hard to control myself (it would be an ugly slippery slope if I got started I think and i know I’d never really be able to change anyone’s minds).
What makes me laugh, a lot, is when people say “I did not vote for labor because of all the crap that’s been going on in the party. I’m ashamed, blah blah”. Perhaps these people should be more ashamed that they got suckered in by the media to thinking exactly what the Coalition wanted them to think! I have no time for those who have been suckered into it this way……forgetting everything good that has actually come about in the last couple of years and how a lot of that may be undone.
Anyway, i agree with you.
I suppose, in a way, there is some good here and that is this new leader (gag when I say it) may just give us a chance to come back stronger.
Better stop, the rants are taking over!
About now is a good time to Youtube Judy Small singing “You Don’t Speak For Me.” And play it loud!
I loved your post yesterday (and today’s), but I was too scared to join in in case I got my head bitten off too (by the other commenters, not you). My husband and I are so confused, who exactly voted for Liberals?? And what exactly did Labour do wrong?? Just waiting to see how bad the employment standards get before people realise they stuffed up….
It actually looks like Labor won on primary votes, but Liberals are the winner after preferences. So yay for democracy, or something.
Passive aggressive much?
So is this more or less of a democracy than when labor “won” in 2010? Or are we only calling it a democracy when the party we voted for win?
It’s always a democracy 🙂 I seem to recall having a similar conversation after Labor “won” in 2010.
I’m with you!
Write what you bloody well like and tell the detractors to bugger off! I’m with you too!
I don’t know that it’s a minority view, at least not amongst the people I know and hang with. I just don’t tend to talk politics much, I am cynical as can be, and also frankly get really bored with pollies and politics. That, as I am sure you know, is NOT a dig – just an observation as to why I don’t talk politics much.
I guess when it came down to it, I just believed (and still believe) that Labor are also complete and utter wanker tosspots and I didn’t hold out much hope for our country whichever party got in.
Having said that, Mr Rabbit is definitely the greater of the two evils and I sure as hell didn’t vote for him. I will freely admit that the thought of that sexist little wanker having control over anything apart from his TV remote fills me with despair.
Bottom line, your blog, if it matters to you, go for your life 🙂 You are not alone in loathing the little twerp.
Personally, I plan to bend a knee to the new Guinea Pig Overlords when they get here, cos I am hoping they will do a better job than pollies throughout the world seem to manage.
