Against my better judgement, it seems a lot of Australians have voted in favour of Labor in this election.
By which I mean to say that my judgement is better than a lot of Australians, and that some (presumably large) proportion of those same Australians cast votes contrary to the requirements for action based on my judgement. Ten thousand comedians are excited.
Currently, my home seat of Bennelong is under serious contention by invading Labo[u]r forces. With 77% of the ballots counted, Labo[u]r’s ’star candidate’ under the guise of one recently-respectable Maxine McKew is polling with a 5.3% swing in her favour. The ABC have decided this is sufficient to call the seat hers, though the very experts they broadcast state such a swing is necessary only for her to be in the running, with 6.1% or greater required for a win. In truth though, postal votes will decide this seat at some indeterminate but comparatively distant point in time.
It is the collective will of the social majority that their government be changed to something new and exciting, because they are bored of John Howard’s administration. Their will shall be done, courtesy of the AEC. That being a given, observe the future:
Rudd will keep his election promises because, while it isn’t hard to keep promises when they take the form of broad generalisations almost completely encompassing current government policy, he also appears to be a witless mannequin with no idea what’s going on. I hope I’m wrong, really – I want the country in which I live to be as viable as possible – but all indications so far indicate a lack of comprehension on the part of Labo[u]r with regards to what keeps an economy afloat.
The next three years will see wideranging social reforms, which is code for exorbitant spending. Because of this, Rudd will win the 2011/12 election. Depending on his rate of economic deforestation/the effectiveness with which the Liberals point out his many colourful violations of sound governance principles, he may or may not gain a further majority.
Finally, in 2013/14 there will be a landmark election in which there is a severe victory for the Liberals over the corpse of Rudd’s popularity. The leader of the Liberal Party and elected Prime Minister will be Joe Hockey. Do you know why? Allow me to end by enlightening you:
You’ll vote for this man. Trust me.
