Election - 20th March 2010

[Pseudo]

Yep, that vote would go in the bin. Speaking of 'donkey' votes, the last couple of federal elections I've worked in a polling booth and some of the stuff people write on their slips rather than actually voting is pretty damn funny.

If you ever found a slip that was covered with grotesque drawings of penises, that was probably one of mine.

The ones with paranoid conspiracy theories scribbled all over them were the most entertaining. Even the polling booths themselves ended up with some interesting artwork.

I donkey voted in the 2002 state election by coincidence - the sheet had the candidates listed in the order I was going to put them in!

Chomel has also contested the seat of Little Para (formerly known as Elizabeth) in 2006 and 2002. He looks like one of those that will seek pre-selection wherever he can

Yeah, I remember that. But all the names of paid up Liberal members in my electorate could fit on a post-it note. So it's to be expected.

People answer me this, why wasn't there a city stadium build when the SANFL was thrown out of Adelaide Oval 40 years ago.

[Jimmy_041]

The Glenelg mafia wanted it built close to them

I'm fairly sure that reclaimed marshland at West Lakes was a lot cheaper than CBD real estate, and as it was self-funded by the SANFL, they did what they could with the resources available to them at the time.

The Advertiser is reporting this morning an opinion poll for the seat of Bright (held by Chloe Fox by 9.5%) is looking like it'll be maintained by Labor.

[Jimmy_041]

That's my seat - did Chloe top Vicki?

[redandblack]

It showed a 55/45 two-party preferred to Fox, giving a swing away from her of 4.4% (?).

Bright girl

Not Bragg, the seat of BRIGHT currently held by Chloe Fox.

Yep, typo, which has been fixed

I have always voted Labor, Democrats or Greens in the past.
But the big issue for myself is that Liberal have a better policy for harvesting stormwater, and it pisses me off the way that Rann & Labor have pushed the desal plant through despite the independent studies saying that it will be disasterous for the gulf waters.

And this super schools thing sounds like a fuggn disaster in the making too.

The stadium debate is a bollocks issue.
FWIW... I'd rather watch the Bays win a Grand Final in the CBD because it'd be easier to get back to the club while drunk. So who's policy is going to make that happen first?
No ones.

So.... still not sure.

A week or so out from the election and the bookies and punters still have Labor as favourites, although the Libs have made up a bit of ground lately. Latest market:

LABOR $1.40
LIBERAL $2.85

Interestingly, there's also a new market for "Bob Such to hold the balance of power":

NO $1.20
YES $4.10

I 'VOTED' for not decided yet, (in my electorate i wont vote for tim looker given his role at council level), however i think i'll vote for a fellow poster come election day, for those unsure who it is, it is in fact our jovial friend inforMAL

[JK]

a vote for Issy is a vote for motherhood, all things nice and apple pie

We'll err .. We'll just tell your Mother we ate it

[HH3]

I dont really pay attention to politics and didnt even know there was an election coming up until it was announced...

Im not registered to vote...how do i do it...and i always thought if you're not registered BEFORE the election was called, it is too late.

Isn't the plural of penis "penes"?
Most Latin nouns with an -is ending in the nominative and accusative form go to -es in the plural...
