Australian Election

[AK]

I care so little for this I only realised it was voting day at 8pm. Anyway, on a two-party preferred basis it's a tight election (72 to Labor and 70 to the Liberal/National coalition or 70 to Labor and 73 to the Liberal/National coalition depending on the source. 76 seats needed to win.). One party supports internet censorship - I forget which. Anyway, discuss.

Any cool TV debates where two totally ignorant dumbfucks show off their immense amount of incompetence in a fierce battle to the death? I always loved that about America.

I got a message from a friend today which sums it up:

"It's a hung parliament! But really, we should hang the parliament."

Also, most of the debates are about trivial things like immigration. Pathetic, really.

[Chambered Word]

I had my afternoon handing out flyers for the Greens. I'm looking forward to seeing 9 Green Senators from July.

At least you don't have Tea Partiers over there. You have no idea how much it irks me to see a "We the People: Tea Party Patriots" sign in front of a multi-million dollar gulf front mansion. I can't help but think "Yep, you're the people all right." Wankers.

Why is austria having another election?

[Chambered Word]

Because Fritzl rigged the last one.

[Animal Farm Pig]

I have no idea about Austrian politics, but I can't wait until some pornographer makes Julia Gillard and the Hung Parliament.

[AK]

I really hope people are just trolling when they keep calling it the "Austrian" election. Otherwise I will be disappoint.

As long as Tony Abbott isn't involved, I'm ok with this.

Austrian?
God damn people are stupid sometimes. :lol:
The election is turning out to be quite interesting.
In the sense that it isn't interesting at all, and is kind of just a big fucking joke.

Sounds just like last night's primary election.

Holy shit you're only 15????

[Chambered Word]

Same, turning 16 in November. :cool:

[Sir Comradical]

Voted Greens but it really means nothing because our area is a safe Liberal (right-wing party) electorate.

[AK]

Holy shit you're only 15????
I thought my infantile nature would have been a dead give-away, but apparently I was wrong. I mean, I'm very loosely affiliated with RAAN and I had a series of childish usernames and avatars based around ducks for god's sake.

True, but I barely remember the duck obsessed guy. You've been a pretty good poster lately. Would have thought you at least my age. And I thought the RAAN thing was a joke....

[progressive_lefty]

The media is committed to defaming the Greens..

Why, you sound like a regular Btard trying to be serious.

Considering I, to some extent, do that too, one could easily assume you're a few years older. Oh well.

People think RAAN is trolling? Lol.

RAAN, at the moment, to me, is just a collection of anarchists and libertarian Marxists. Sometimes the forums can be an alright place for discussion - and the thread we have up to mock revleft is good for a laugh.

[AK]

Perhaps because I am a /b/tard. I'm well-spoken is all.

How old are you?

[Widerstand]

Figured. /b/ was never my thing, but I do go on /mu/ regularly, and I used to be on /fit/ and /fa/ quite a lot.



How old are you?

19.

[Chambered Word]

/x/ is awesome, creeps me right the fuck out, I love it.

/k/ and /fit/ are fairly good, /b/ can still be awesome though.
