Alden Bates' WeblogFeigning normality since 1973ElectionsFiled in: Tetrap.Local. No, not the American ones, though they've started voting today. We're only a few days out from the NZ general election and predicting a winner is not as clear cut as it once might have been. National isn't polling high enough to form a clear majority, and neither is Labour, so if the votes follow the polls, ultimately they'll have to rely on the support of minor parties. At the moment this looks like it may be down to whoever the Maori Party is willing to team up with, so at the moment both Helen Clark and JohnKey* are trying to outdo each other with platitudes in the hope of making their respective party a more attractive prospect. I'm still largely undecided on who I'm going to vote for. I'll probably decide on the day (if I bother at all). *One thing I have decided on is that "JohnKey" should be pronounced the same way as Donkey from the Shrek movies.

Have you ever seen a bigger bunch of ugly, charisma-less, dreary, uninspired bastards in your life? Usually, there's one candidate worth voting for, but this time, they're ALL horrible. I was telling everyone that Peters was a dishonest sh*t ten years ago. People scoffed, just as they scoffed when I foretold misery and doom under George W. Bush in 1999. Who's scoffing now, ya nobs?! "Crazy" old Jeff was right! AGAIN! Fancy that. Ahem, sorry. Democracy is good. Please go and vote. Even though it's a farce.

I reckon it's easy to win an election around here. All I'd need to do is change my name to "Anyone But Peters"...
