Can Anyone Say "Landslide"?

[maxcelcat]

I'm feeling a bit hopeful and optimistic about the election thing.

If the polls continue the way they are...

And the swing is consistent across the whole country...

We might be talking a landslide people...

A good landslide means at least two terms in office. This has worked a treat for Labor here in Victoria - you win enough seats the first time around, it'd take something drastic to lose the next election... Yay.

And I've been doing my part - I spent a good $17 today on pre-paid envelopes to send out a campaign schedule to my comrades in the Northcote Branch :-)

I grew up in Throsby, one of the really safe Labor seats.

My dad claims to be Labor, but always votes Liberal - "just to make the numbers closer, so they might actually spend some money here."


I'm quite excited to now live in Eden-Monaro - a real seat!

...and one of the seats with the silliest names... :-)

I'm in Batman, but I grew up in Kooyong - which is not as safe as it used to be. I hear Petro Georgio is in trouble there. Which... Well, of all the liberals he is the least repugnant... Ah, who cares, give me the friggin' landslide already!!!!

Touche.

Close to the lesser-known seat of Robin :-P

Throsby does sound like it was named by someone with a lisp...

Throsby was named for a local pioneer/explorer
