Jesus christ spins in his grave

All in all it looks pretty bleak if said coalition should be able to form a government this year. On the bright side, it looks like United Future will also be running, so that will hopefully dilute the Fundie vote enough to prevent either of them having more than one seat. Also the country isn't in a lot of strife at the moment, Labour seams to be keeping most people happy, so that lowers the chance of a change in government. But i don't know, electioneering is yet to begin, so really anything could happen.

Find me a party that wants to give me weed, video games, high speed internet, and a job worth having, and Ill vote for them.
Until then, Im voting for the "I wouldnt trust any of these fucks with a TV remote, let alone a country." party.
