I would vote for


One of these is the leader of the conservative government and current prime minister. The other is the leader of the watered down centre-left opposition party.

Who would YOU vote for?

Not saying which is which, thats part of the fun.

If you know, dont tell and spoil the game.

If you didn't specify, I assume those are all pics of the same guy a few years apart.

We dont care about policies, budgets or one partys habitual tendency to sweep sexual assault or harassment allegations under the rug.

Thats not the game.

Its all about appearances.

I'm from NZ, so I'll abstain from voting.

No idea what your opposition leader is like, but holy hell you need to give your pm the boot.

"politicans look similar so therefore their policies are the same." has always been a weird take to me.

I remember the Futurama writers actually being embarrased about their Clone joke of candidates because they didn't have the balls to actually make fun of political parties.

You could get a short Asian woman and a tall fat hispanic guy who think the same thing.

And you can get 2 balding white dudes who don't agree on anything.

I mean christ, rewind back to WW1, Tzar Nicloas and King George used to swap clothes and pretend to be each other at parties because they looked so similar.

Anyone who thinks the UK and Russia are the same politically is utterly nutterly butterly.

Some years ago, it was discovered Rasputin's pickled, prodigiously proportioned penis was in fact a sea cucumber. What's your point?

LMAO at one of the search results Engadine Maccas.

Well, the liberal party under his leadership certainly shat itself.

can't speak to australian political trends but here, what happens is someone in the watered-down left party will defect and fuck over any attempt to make use of the voters' power, because they were paid to do so, and then the next election will generate massive gridlock such that neither party does anything for two years (which will be like the preceding two, but less humiliating)

We have a bit of an advantage here since a few independents and Greens have got in to make up for that scenario.

Yeah, both libs and labs are bemoaning that because it might not necessarily be a single party majority, but I think its pretty damn healthy for democracy that a single party cant steamroll things through

As a general rule I'm very unlikely to vote for either of the big two, in any country. Not outright saying it could never happen, but it's unlikely.

The good thing is that Australia has Preferential Voting so the perception of 'wasting a vote' doesn't exist despite some in the Liberal and Labor parties trying to show otherwise.

Vote for your preference as Number 1. If they don't work out then it'll go down your list until your vote counts.

That's honestly great. Wish NZ had voted to adopt that when we had the chance.
