Donkey votes are a waste, make it count.

Labour will romp it in, too many women think Bracks is cute (3AW), issues of Vic being the low tolerance, mad revenue raising state do not cut it in the real world scheme of things, so no protest vote to the other party except for a couple of hundred souls maybe.

Should be interesting ZZZzzzz

It is a fore gone conclusion. Bracks will win. Another 3 years of intense revenue raising from motorists to land owners.... Good luck to all you Mexicans. Dont get a speeding ticket on the way to the polling booth.

And don,t donkey vote!!! :togo:

If only Labor would hand out the 10% tolerance on speeding then he'd win this election 100%-0%. Even though he hasn't done many bad things since he's been there.

Another 3 years and he may yet deliver on some of his promises.

We can still live in hope. If Bracks loses, I will personally offer my services to clean his office out and help the new bloke shift in.

If you do that, then you have no right to complain about the government when you disagree with anything they do.

If anyone is in the Essendon Region, keep an eye out for the candidate from Little Britan - spitting image, I actually burst out laughing when I saw the pictures, enough so to make the 20 in line look around....

For anyone who hasn't voted yet, for gods sake vote below the line in the upper house and don't give the Greens an inch!

Unless you don't like pet shops, think you can live with only one car per household and hate bushwalking, fishing, hunting and 4WDing.

I was going to go to Apathetics Anomynous, but the last meeting was cancelled due to lack of interest.

Thats pathetic. People fought hard for their right to vote in other countries and many have died to have their say, regardless of how small.

You dont think state politics have as much of an influence on you as federal politics? Think about the schools, hospitals, a lot of the roads, police/traffic laws, stamp duty and things like that which you have just decided to have no say over.

As Gerardine said, you wouldnt want to whine about anything to do with speed cameras again, or anything, would you? Lets see how happy you are when your kids get beaten up in a public school with massive class sizes, you have a looooong wait in the emergency section of your local public hospital, you dont have enough police to attend the robbery of your house, but you cop 5 speeding fines in one day for being 4kmh over the limit and you are up for $10K in stamp duty when you buy a house. Capiche?

If you are going to vote in ANY state election, you would vote in Victoria to get Bracks out FFS! I would change my address temporarily to be able to register to vote over there to get that ****head out of government. Can I take your vote instead???

Oh and I dont find Bracks attractive at all YUK! And if I did, it wouldnt change my vote.

It's a sickening thought.

It's also sickening to think someones vote is based on that they are "cute". I guess you can thank those people for revenue raising.
