We’re all fucked

There was an election today! Did you notice? It sucked. In short, the Coalition won, although it didn’t actually technically win and we technically have a hung parliament. This means shit though, because either side needs 76 seats to win. Current projections are that Labor will get 72 and the Coalition 73, although with one of the electorates on a knife-edge that could turn into Labor 71, Coalition 74. Then there’s the single Greens candidate and four independents — three stupid-ass conservative hacks, and some former spy who used to be a Young Liberal then defected to the Greens then defected to himself presumably and became an independent.

Basically, the stupid-ass conservative hacks are going to wrangle a deal with the Coalition and there’s our government — Tony Abbott and the stupid-ass conservative hack brigade. Basically the only good thing out of that entire mess is that Wilson Tuckey lost his seat, but that’s little good to the world because he lost it to the Nationals. I’ll still take it though, because Tuckey is that fucked.

If you know me at all you’ll know I loathed our Labor government and was CONSTANTLY, CONSTANTLY pissed off at the latest shit they tried to pull, but when it comes down to the line, when it comes down to red numbers v. blue, it’s going to be red every time.
