Dear Examinator,

I've just been watching Tony Abbott
on the news.

I don't know who you're going to be voting
for in this election but I simply can't
with a clear conscience see myself
voting for the LIbs, for Tony Abbott as PM,
and for a return to the nasty Howard era.

People keep saying what a close election this
is going to be - and for that reason alone -
I shall be voting a straight Labor ticket.
That may make me a "socialist leftie," in some
people's eyes (even though I don't know what
that means exactly), however, I have a conscience
for a reason - and with a clear conscience I can't
vote for a Party that gives nothing, promises
nothing, and does nothing, but damage to me, and my
family. I simply don't trust Tony Abbott and Co.,
and all the rhetoric and condemnation in their world
won't change my vote!

Foxy luv,

You really need to start thinking out of the Linear x-y plain.

unless you live in their electorates you have no real say in who is PM.

Firstly being in a Lib seat what I vote in the 'house' is irrelevant I(we) are going to be represented (sic) by a self serving, party drone.

Hype aside either party is going prone to changing the party leader any way. I.e. so much for voting for JG or TA.

What is deliberately ignored by the Libs is that Rudd wasn't removed by faceless NSW power brokers per se rather by The labor caucus losing confidence in their leader. It is an absolute LIE for the conservatives to claim they are devoid of external power influencers (Party powerful contributors and or special interests the private sector). This is a near fatal flaw in the party system.

Even assuming the Libs get polls suggest that the Greens WILL hold the balance of power and therefore it would not be in THEIR strategic interest to allow the Libs to run amok i.e. Work choices.

I predict if they do get in the next budget will be an interesting and defining fight for the Greens.

Dear Examinator,

I refuse to believe that my vote doesn't
count (can't help that). I am convinced
that if I vote for the Party of my choice,
it will make a difference as to whether
they get in or not, especially if the
election is as they predict, going to be
a close one.

Anyway, let's wait and see what tomorrow
brings. If Labor wins, as I predict,
you owe me a drink!
