I had a moment of absolute GLEE when one Lib member said Australia seemed to be lurching to the left and that we'll all have to deal with the fallout.

YEAH FUCK YOU LIBS. Anyway. Yes. Will see.

They're now saying a Liberal minority govt is more likely than a Labor minority one. So that's awful. And yet at the same time we've got this lurching-left thing so I dunno. If the Greens can exert sufficient control that'll be interesting.

Plus the over 10% lower house Greens vote really puts a focus on how the system shuts out large minority parties. Bob Brown's talking about proportional representation on the tv atm.

On the one hand the thought that Abbott has to negotiate with the Greens considering Abbott is a tosser/bigot and climate change sceptic fills me with much much joy.

On the other hand FUCKING TONY ABBOTT AS PRIME-MINISTER.

Yeah, just as I was editing I had this stomach-drop feeling of Tony PM. Oh fuck no.

And Julia losing will be *so* bad.

I've only *just* recovered from all those years of Howard, and been able to hear "Prime Minister" without flinching.

I'm in tears now, and I haven't drunk hardly anything with the thought of all the smarmy horrible misogynist things he's going to go on about, it will all be about motherhood and sacredness of the women's role raising the next generation or some fucked up shit.

YOU KNOW HE WOULD.

All women should have three kids! One for mum, one for dad, and one for the country! Fuck, I thought I could put all that shit in the past. HOW, people, HOW?!
