    This issue for me personally is that it’s still a choice between a douche and turd sandwich. I don’t think our political system is anything to write home about.

    But to answer this, I have to go to the polling station, get my name marked off a list by some delusional person, go into a booth and hope that someone appreciates the quality of the veiny dick and balls improving over the years when they unwrap the origami that is my ballot paper.

      Nice South Park reference! I guess you probably haven’t been penalised in any way or you’d know, so you can probably get away with that. But isn’t it technically illegal to not cast a proper vote in Australia? (I think compulsory voting is stupid so I don’t blame you btw)

        You’re probably right and I assume the same. And as you can tell, I’m not invested enough in our system to go look up any particulars. If they could find me out without compromising the system I’m sure I’d be hit with the fine. Of course, plenty of ballots aren’t counted because they are not marked correctly. I doubt I’ll ever read a news story about someone being fined because they couldn’t follow the ballot instruction.

        When they move to electronic voting systems only all I’ll be able to do is be caught fucking it. 😞

        The lengths they have me go… I tell you!!

        Hahah!!
