Tomorrow is the day where the Australian public is forced to choose between two parties, both of which are corrupt policy failures, and are generally hated. Of course, one of them will win, despite the fact that there are more than 50 other political parties, and a whole raft of independants. They like to project the image that they only have one opposition (which is exactly what they were doing by not inviting Bob Brown to any of their debates or forums), which helps keep Australians ignorant to the fact that they actually do have a choice.
The main factor that precipitates this happening is this utterly demoralising, defeatist attitude that most people have when it comes to politics. Everyone I meet seems to be a cynic, and that's only compounded by the fact that our former government and opposition are utterly corrupt, and morally bankrupt. This is the most frustrating thing, especially when you realise that the only reason that people are cynical, is because people are cynical. Change can happen, and as cliche as it sounds, you just have to believe that it can happen.
That being said, my prediction is that Julia will win. Why? She's the only candidate with ovaries.
