In the coming elections I was planning to place the Liberal party second-to-last.

But today, these guys violated my private space.

I keep a quiet peaceful life, but I do have a phone for emergencies. Today while I was working, the phone rang and the display showed that the call was from "overseas". I have relatives overseas, so being concerned for their health I had to stop what I was doing in order to answer it.

It was a recorded message: "Hello, this is Malcolm Turnbull". I immediately hung up, but they still called again 45 minutes later.

Well this is it! The Liberal party cares not for our well-being, they care not for the sanctity of our private space - all this talk of individual freedom and liberalism is fake, they never mean an ounce of it.

Well, I already boycott any company that attempts to advertise at me - now the Liberal party will come LAST on my ballot paper.
(unless of course Bill will be stupid enough to make the same mistake)

We suffer enough already from the filth they hang in our streets, making them look for two months like slums, aggrandising their images and taking everyone for fools with their shallow slogans. But even that's not enough for the politicians: they want to penetrate our homes too!

Bye bye villains, you have no minimal respect for ordinary people so you deserve to be thrown in history's garbage bin.

Very amusing, Yuyutsu.
But let's imagine we get rid of democracy, where people 'invade' your private space ever few years to beg your support, and go for a simple dictatorship. Do you really imagine you'd have any peace and quiet? Think of the all those mega-statues, giant posters, military parades, party music and slogans blaring from loud-speakers at every street corner and every TV station - not just at election time but permanently?
Be grateful for small mercies.

Dear Cossomby,

Snakes should be hit over their heads while they are still small.

Yuyutsu invaded Australia, and hasn't stopped complaining about the place since. Zero tolerance to him and his sort!

How about we get rid of advertising generally? Last year I researched venetian blinds on line, then bought some from a local company. I'm still getting on-line ads from venetian blind companies on OLO!

Wait. That's capitalism / free market. People need to advertise their wares so I have know what the choice is, even if I find it intrusive and boring at times.

Ditto political parties?

But you're far from being an ordinary person, Yuyutsu. So I'm sure they have lots of resptect for you. What if it wasn't just a recorded message but Malcolm himself ringing you personally to ask you you think his policies on bicycle helmets should be?
