Aussies go to the polls today to choose our next prime minister.

Popular opinion has Labor in the lead, but the Coalition has a chance in a very tight election.

Who's gonna win it?

Only two choices, since we have a two party system ... i call it pseudo-democracy! Very Happy

I haven't been following close enough to confidently call it, but I'd guess little Johnny (the cunning mofo that he is) has done his dash.

I just want to see Peter Garret do his spaz dance in celebration as he's named Minister for Enviromental Affairs. Please, god, please!!

Johnny Concedes

Actually he gave a very gracious speech. A bloody good politician when all is said and done. Shame he didn't have better set of ethics.

Well, hopefully. There's not so much difference between Labour and the Liberals, but Labour still have to at least pretend to care about the common man. Howard was very divisive and played to people's worst prejudices. Hopefully Rudd will avoid that kind of ugliness. But we'll see. Hopefully Labour will take the environment and climate change much more seriously too. And licking your own earwax is a far more benign practice than tossing refugees and their small children into concentration camps in the middle of the desert.
