Not more voting!
So...today Australia goes to the polls after a six week election campaign.I have not recovered from the debacle 'Up Over' and each day my reluctant glancing at the BBC website appears to herald the UK's further descent into Doom. If Gove can become the Prime Minister then Trump can be President and surely the planned one-way manned mission to Mars will find no end of volunteers happy to leave Earth and never return.Like the UK, Australia also has it's fair share of idiots vying for votes and if Labour wins or the Coalition gets back in the Barrier Reef is still bu$%?!*d and asylum seekers will still be held in appalling conditions on offshore islands.I am unable to vote as I am not an Australian Citizen. All Australian Citizens have to vote here or you get fined.The voting system here seems very complicated and voting papers can be A3 sized or even like small, unwound rolls of toilet paper.Here are some of the more unusual parties on the ballot paper:Animal Justice PartyAustralian Anti Paedophile PartyAustralian Cyclists PartyAustralian Motoring Enthusiast PartyAustralian Sex PartyHelp End Marijuana Prohibition PartyBullet Train For AustraliaMature Australia PartyPirate Party AustraliaShooters, Fishers and Farmers PartySmokers Rights PartyThe Australian Mental Health PartyVoluntary Euthanasia Partyand Pauline Hanson's One Nation.Yes, Pauline 'I believe we are in danger of being swamped by Asians' Hanson is back and trying to get into the Senate this time.The USA has Trump, The UK Gove and Australia has Pauline."I may be only ‘a fish and chip shop lady’, but some of these economists need to get their heads out of the textbooks and get a job in the real world. I would not even let one of them handle my grocery shopping." Pauline Hanson.
