Weekend Worstoff 115

Clarkson also gives me the shits. From Reynold. And if you were wondering where Jaidyn Jaxon got his current gravatar, it’s from Leisure Island, where he feels the display is just a bit too Ooga Booga for his liking.

And did I put this one up before? I can’t remember and can’t be bothered to check. Another ill starred attempt at church humour from Natalia seen in Rockingham.

      Passionfruit are awesome, fig, quince and pomegranate on the other hand are fucking awful and are rightfully confined to an era when people had nothing else to eat, much like offal or ALP philosophy.

                    1985 won

                    1995 won
                    given that only the party room, rather than the full causcus, vote in that party, it suggests that RBL has one rule for the goose

                      Yet the PM, though a figurehead, is important. The election campaign will be publicised on the back of party leaders. Why did Kevin win in the first place? For not being Howard, duh. Howard, by then an avatar of pure stinginess. No-one likes a stinge. Kevin could have campaigned as a socialist crusader thieving from the rich to give to the rest, but never got the chance because of the money-sullied mediocrity of the Labor elite. 22.5 % guys, down from 40. Sure he may have been open to haggling, but ‘we just shot the shopkeeper, let’s make a deal’ ain’t the greatest way to turn a profit.

        No you probably haven’t but if you were enrolled to vote in the electorate which one of the candidates was the leader of a political party then you could effectively vote for a potential PM or Premier.
        To further my point. Internal figures provided by the major political party to which I WAS a member of suggested that approximately forty percent of the votes for that party was based the personality of the the leader of the party and how they might be perceived as a leader.
        That is approximately three million votes being cast indirectly for a potential PM. Obviously those figures are subjective and open for interpretation but interesting regardless.

        And yes I am aware of how our political system works.

    even if you accept RBL’s spurious argument about voting for the PM, a majority of seats were not won by John Howard’s party.

    The Liberal Party only won an outright majority in ’96. Mostly they only formed Government in coalition with the Nats. More people voted for someone that wasn’t John Howard.
